Ricardo, I tried to send you a message today,but your box is full,so let me know what to do.

Im moving to US. I love my fiance but i dont like anything about the USA. Ugly clothes, strict rules, stupid smile on everyones face. Im perfectly good in my own city Kiev, Ukraine. I have everything i want here.  My fiance says that if not for his well-paid job in US we would probably live in Ukraine. So id like to here stories from girls who moved from Ukraine/Russia/Belarus to US. What changed for better and what changed for worse. Really looking forward to  hear some informative stories

Do NOT Come!!!! if you don't like the us why come? In marriages or relationship it's called compromise. i can't even imagine you coming here feeling the way you feel. Am sorry but it is ppl like you that give all countries a badd name, Stay Put!!!!!

You can do as suggested above. The issue was also addressed in your post submitted yesterday.

you

Ricardo Thaank you sooo much for the info. The process it self can be sooo annoying , ut with the visa family I will get through. Again, thank You ... Rickey

If you wish to have interviews happen at same time, is best to put CR-1 case on hold at NVC, simply hold on paying fees, and file an I-130 petition to USCIS for step child CR-2, I would attach a copy of I-130 NOA2 letter, and on cover-letter state Please Expedite.

This happens often, in the days of the K-3/K-4 I always advised filing I-130 petitions for any step children with parent's I-130, because one would have to be filed anyway later when K-4 would adjust status.

Thank You ,soo much I will do it that way.. maes alot of sense to expedite the process.

Okay VISA Family.... please Help a DIVA outttttt. Just got news that i need to file a separate 1-130 for my step-son. When I origianlly filed, I field the old way (k-3), so with that said...they approved the i-130 first, so that knocked out the 1-129f. So, my husband's petition is already approved and at the NVC level now. My questions is, should I wait to pay the IV bill until the step-son's petition is approved? or should I pay the husband's IV bill. I understand that I have a year to complete the whole process for my husband. Additionally it is my thought that we wait til the son 's petition is approved to move all at once. Am sooo greatful for this site, because this process right here can really make you just lose it sometimes. Again, please help a DIVA out!!!!!!! SMH

If it were the I-129F that got through, the child would have derivative status, but with I-130 you would need to file a separate petition for the chaild and pay the $404 for each of the beneficiaries.

Exactly.... the 1-130 was approved first,so that automatically killed the 1-129f, so now I have to file the 1-130 for the child. My husband's paperwork is already@ the NVC level.

read page # 1 of the instruction of the I-130 on "who may file this form" section 1. It does say that a separate form is requested for certain family members.

To correct it you will need to file form I-130 for the immediate relative. Emailing the NVC will not help if they received no post approval from USCIS as they process information received from USCIS.

Policy changes all the time so you can await the response (7-10 days) from the NVC or Call them tomorrow and get a fast response. You can pay the 404 for your husband and see if the " Following to Join" status would be applied/given by the NVC as a COURTESY even though the child is not a derivative.

Please update us when you get a response.

Thanks Ricardo , as I said too someone else, I filed the old way( k-3)... But thevi-130 was approved first, and the k-3 is dead, but when I did the I-130 and i129 I added the child, but it does not apply now... Am so upset, so I think we will just hv to wait. Because I hv to file a whole new i130. +a new fee of &420, when I filed it was 355.... Mad , mad

My minor children are immigrating with me as well and we had to fill out separate I-130's for each of them. I'm pretty certain they have to go thru the whole USCIS process as well. We had to submit all the certificates etc for them just the same way as for my case.

Thank you, wowzers..... This is too much, but thank you

Pops, no I didn't , I filed originally the old way, (k-3) so , i filed the I-130,i129. The i130 was approved first, so that deceased the k-3 which do not even exist anymore, so i guess we need to do a whole new petition ..... Woozers

Yes, Magical said it the best.... You have a year to finalize the paperwork, so the power is in your hand, follow your gut, but I also know that you have to be careful of what other ppl tell you. Again you have the POWER. what are loseing. Sometimes things are put in our face for us to see, but we see only what we want to see.

Hello VISA family, I recv'd the VISA Bill for my husband on yesterday. The origainal IV bill is $404, however my step-son is coming to, so I e-mailed the NVC to let thme know they need to add him as well,he is five years old. When I did the original i-130 it stated that the minor children that will be immigrating with their parents doesn't need to be on the the primary applicants 1-130..... so, do I send the extra $404 or should I wait for the nvc to insrtuct me?

Congrat, If I were you I would wait until the VISA is in the hands. Use the time to get things together at home.

Hello that funny , because if your filing a i-130 for your spouse you do not have to file a separate i-130 if the child will come up with the parent. for ir/cr visa the child can migrate with the parent or wait 6mos, but after the 6month date you will have do a i-130 all over.when you do the visa application it will ask you all children , and the children that will migrate.

Hello,

I'm new to the whole forum thing and I am just looking for some guidance if anyone has any.

I just recently married a Canadian citizen on Dec 29th, 2010 in Chicago. We have planned for her to move down to the states with her 5yr old son. I have a few questions.

Do I have to file a seperate I-130 for her son?

Since the father is not listed on his birth certificate and she has sole custody(never married) do we need to obtain permission from him?

I've read that we have to show evidence of the marriage, other than the license, is their any other proof that we can provide since we just got married not more than a few weeks ago?

If anyone can help with these questions, we would surely appreciate it!
