I got married to my wife in the Philippines. My wife gave birth to our son in the Philippines on 2011. I got my sons us passport, ss number, and consular report of birth in the Us embassy, philippines. Now we've decided to settle down now in the US. my question is, do i need to file a separate I 130 form for my son aswell? I would imagine that he is ready to go anytime to the states being that he is a us citizen already. pls help.

ok thanks for the reply. i will do that.

On the Last 5 years of residence section, can i put the time I stayed abroad for 11 months? I didnt work during that time i was abroad. i stayed at my aunts place so that i could be with my wife ( then GF ). Then when we got married, I stayed again for almost a year to be with my wife. i didnt work again, just used what ive been saving all my life. So should i list these two specific time periods or just put my one address that ive been living at for most of my life here in the states, to cover the "last five years of residence". sorry if my question sounds stupid, i just dont want to encounter mistakes or delays with my process

I'm going to be filing for my wifes petition soon, but my question is will i be denied if I show them I have no work experience? For personal reasons, i havent been working the past 6 years. I do alot of self employed jobs where they'd just hand me money, nothing big...50 bucks here, a 100 dollars there, but I wont be able to show or give them any tax returns, w2s. My father will co-sponsor my wife on the affidavit of support, he makes well over the poverty line. Can his help alone, help me pass this petition process?

I'm filling out my wife's G-325a form, my question is Do I put her Family name or do I put her married name on line 1?

Does the 6 month stay have to be continuous? I'm a dual citizen of the Philippines and I stay here on again and off again staying in the philippines for 2-3 months at a time then go back to the states for 2 months then back. will the consular look for a 6 month straight stay or accept that i've been a frequent resident of the Philippines?

Yes, but most embassies will have a minimum residency requirement for the US citizen (i.e. 6 months)

Yes, Im aware of the 6 month residency stay..i'm going to stay for as long as I can until I can bring my wife back with me. So Thanks for the clarification.

I found this on the US EMBASSY MANILA website

A beneficiary of an approved Form I-130 petition must apply for the appropriate immigrant visa under the Family-Sponsored (IR or F) categories. The Form I-130 is filed by a relative who is either a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident (LPR) at a USCIS office in the United States. "In certain cases where the sponsoring U.S. citizen resides in the Philippines, the I-130 petition may be filed at the USCIS office at the Embassy in Manila. "

Does the last sentence mean that they do offer DCF?? I'm a dual citizen. I married my wife in the Philippines, and I've been residing there since we got married. So I'm hoping they do offer the service so that I don't have to leave her behind since she is pregnant.

How can the consular determine that i've stayed for more than 6 months? what documents will they want to see to show proof that i've been a resident for more than 6 months? I'm a Dual citizen ( US and filipino ). Married my wife in the philippines, and been together ever since. I want to start petitioning my wife so that I can take her to the states. I want to start the DCF process.

I'm a dual citizen, ( U.S and Filipino citizen ). I married my wife in the Philippines. My question is, Can I file for the i-130 petition at the US Embassy in Manila? I currently live in the Philippines, ever since I met my wife there last year.
