I got this message from the National Visa Center regarding the DS-260 form, but I am not sure what it means exactly. Can someone help explain this message means, and what I should do? We currently live abroad and both my son and I are US citizens. I am trying to get immigration visa for my wife.

 

The petition you have filed does not allow derivative status for family members. This means that any spouse, unmarried child under age 21, or parent will require his or her own petition to immigrate. For more information on how to submit a new visa petition, go to https://www.uscis.gov.

 

Thanks!

Correct. You filed for an immediate relative and are a USC, so your petition does not allow derivatives. But that's fine as only your wife (the primary beneficiary) is immigrating.

 

It's just a note that you can't include others using the same petition.
