He filed only one I-130 for an F2, with his child as a derivative of his wife.

I am asking for a friend who is a LPR trying to get his family over to the USA to join him. Next year he becomes a US Citizen (we hope). He filed for his spouse and son back in 2000 and is DQ'd already and waiting for an interview date. He is asking me questions but I cannot answer some of them as I have filed for IR1. So far, I informed him after receiving his Naturalization Certificate and/or Passport he will have to file a separate I-130 for his child, he filed for him as a derivative of his spouse. What I can't answer is: 1. Will he have to pay the fee for the separate petition? 2. Will his child's separate petition have to undergo approval from USCIS, thus delaying his case? 3. Does he report this to USCIS, NVC or both? (I have recommended checking out Visa Journey, just not sure if he'll actually visit the site. Forums aren't for everybody)

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like those weren't looked at yet, or perhaps not needed. Do those pertain to I-864 co-sponsors?

Ah, I interpreted that wrong then. Glad I got my marriage void ab initio then.

Well since she has been there for 10 years, you have no obligation with the Affidavit of Support any longer. Just find a divorce attorney in Hawaii and get it over with so you can move on with your life. I had brought over my ex-wife from the Philippines way back in 2005. After a similar situation to yours, I decided to Nullify the marriage in the Philippines. It took 7 years and PHP 250k to get rid of her in my life and to assure that any public charge wouldn't come back to bite me. A divorce would've been so much easier though.

My wife's I-130 has been approved and now waiting for NVC. In the meantime I am pre-filling the DS-230 in preparation of the DS-260 coming soon. 21a. Person(s) named in 14 and 19 who will accompany you to the United States now. I understand that my name doesn't need to be there because I am the sponsor, but does my son need to be listed? He was born in the Philippines and has not been out of the country yet, however he is already a US Citizen with CRBA and Passport. I will be going there to accompany them on the flight to the United States. (Hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question)

I have already filed the I-130 for my wife's IR1; priority date 22 JUL 2022. Since then some documents and evidence have been created and/or changed. - Marriage Certificate has been Apostilled by The Philippines DFA - Our son's Birth Certificate has been Apostilled by The Philippines DFA - My son has received his CRBA and US passport. Will filing this in addition to what documents they currently have help the case or should we just wait for the interview and/or NVC to present these documents?
