Hi everyone. I am newbie here and I'm glad that I found this community, hoping that somebody can help me. Anywies I am K1 visa (May-Dec. 2014). I got married, got greencard and now I am waiting for my remove conditions on green card. The process was really smooth for me,  everything was fall into place. Now, my question is, I have a 9 year-old daughter back in Ph and I want to get her (as soon as possible)and live with me and my husband here in California. Can anyone please tell me what form to get or step by step on how to do it?

 

Thank you for reading.

When did you marry?

You could have brought your daughter with you when you came here in the US if you filed for a K2 visa. You can file petition for Form I-130.

Just checking to see if you had another option, your husband should sponsor her, takes about a year or so.

She can to start the F2A process but if her husband does it instead then it starts the faster IR-2 process: https://www.visajourney.com/content/child "A stepchild if the marriage creating the steprelationship took place before the child reached the age of 18"

I would add that you will need a letter from the father allowing you to take her out of the country.  Good luck and God Bless, david

Maybe or maybe not. Depends if the child is legitimized or not. If not, the mother has full custody and can travel w/o anything from the father in PH. other countries have other rules, obviously.

Yes, you are correct.  I mentioned this under the assumption that the father was listed as the father on the birth certificate.  If father not listed I guess you can just leave.

What does YOUR mom have to do with it?

She will miss my daughter so bad. My mom raise her and take good care of her in the PH. The father of my child is nothing to do with this and he's not on my child's birth certificate. I
