Help with DS-260

[SusieQQQ 11,584]

It’s very clear that i824 only applies to petitions that can have derivatives, as that is what it is. Why on earth do you think people go through these hoops to bring children if it was was easy as a i824 workaround for petitions that can’t have derivatives?

To qualify, the principal applicant must get their LPR status through one of the following visas:

• (E) Employment-based category
• (F ) Family-preference category
• Green Card lottery (diversity visa lottery)
• K or V visa

IR is NOT any of these categories. The F family categories mentioned are F1, F2A, F2B, F3, F4...all the ones that allow derivatives.

I did not say she was using the I-824, I said per the I-824 to contact NVC and they will tell you how to file for derivative since you have an Embassy Interview.  Read the statement as reading is fundamental.  

What? That post doesn’t even make sense.

My mind is now in a tailspin, I wish some other senior member would chime in ☹️. 

 

Reporting the thread to bring to moderator attention for clarification.

My USC child filed the I-130 for only me. The plan is when I land in the USA, I will file I-130 for my minor children, as the wait time would have been too long if done by their USC sibling. My confusion is the question in the screenshot below for when I'm doing my DS-260. I'm not sure if the answer is YES, since I plan on filing when I'm LPR; or NO, since they are not related to this IR5 case. Please help.   

DO NOT LISTEN TO A SINGLE THING THAT PINKRLION HAS POSTED.

 

You mark no since derivatives are not allowed when a USC petitions for a parent.

 

You do not indicate on your DS-260 that you plan to bring your children to the US at a later date because derivatives are not allowed.  

 

You can't use the I-824 to do follow to join since derivatives are not allowed.

 

The NVC or travel.state.gov will not tell you what you need to do to bring your children to the US after you immigrate.  It's not their job to be your lawyer and advise you what to do.  After you immigrate, you can file separate I-130 for your unmarried children.

Thanks a million.
