Son in law of US citizen?

Hello everybody

It clearly says in USCIS website that a US citizen can apply for married children.

In our case, the mother who is a citizen wants to apply immigrant visa for her married daughter who lives outside of the US. I know she must fill i-130 for the daughter, but what about the husband?

The USC can apply for the daughter, and it would include her husband and her kids.

 

That happened to my family.  My grandmother applied for my mother, and it also included my father, my brother, and I.

Preference category  F3 clearly states that it is for married sons and daughters of USCs AND their spouses and minor children .  The husband and children get derivative benefits from the daughters i130

Thank you. The procedure is confusing. So they should fill i-130 for the daughter, and then automatically her husband will be included in all steps including the interview? She has no children.

Yes.  He's included as long as they are married.

Bear in mind it currently takes approximately 13 years for an F3 petition to become current and this time period is likely to lengthen going forward. Nothing is going to happen anytime soon. Any children born after the petition is filed would be included at the time it becomes current.

Great! So your grandmother did not file anything separate for you, she only applied for your mother and since you are her family, you were automatically added, correct?

I think you still have to be listed on the I-130.  You list all family members that are intended.

I was a little kid, so I don't know what the form looked like.  But everybody must be listed on the form.

Yes form i-130 allows you to list the beneficiary's family members. I am glad it all worked out for your family:)
