Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / January 2007Child of wife who was originally brought to USA with Fiance' Petition
I have been married to my wife who was orginally brought to the U.S. approx 6 years ago under the I-129F Fiancee' Visa . At the time of filing all the paperwork, I included her child in all in every form I was suppose to EVEN THO the child decided to remain with the grandmother in the country of origin. Even when the status change paperwork was filed for my wife (I485), her child was inlcuded also. I know I can file the paperwork to bring the child to the usa even though I am the stepfather. 5 years has past and her child is not 21. 17 in fact. Because of problems with the Grandmother, we will now bring the child to the US. What confuses me is how do I file. At the time of originally filing, child and her grandmother lived in and is a citizen of country "A". In the last couple of years, Child and Grandmother moved to country "B". There is no way for the child to return to their native country. Grandmother can not travel. Child is somewhat in limbo. When I file the paperwork I must state what nationality/country the child is a citizen of. Can I say she is a citizen of country "A" but lives in country "B"? Will INS/ICE require the child to return to her native country or can paperwork be done in American Emabssy in country "B"? How do I do this?

Your wife can also file for her child. None of the original 'K' status can be applied to the child, because the mother is not on 'K' status now. In any regard, the paperwork needs to be filed now, after 21 it will most likely take a far longer time. David David@IBMMuseum.com Check the instructions for the forms you need to file for the child. I'm sure there are spaces for both country of residence and nationality. I'm pretty sure that when the child needs to go for an interview etc, she would go to the consulate in the country where she lives. It's not that unusual for someone to be living in a country different from their native country. You could always try to verify that by contacting that consulate. Check the consulate's web page. There may be an email address you can write to. - Eric S. >> I have been married to my wife who was orginally brought to the U.S. >> approx 6 years ago under the I-129F Fiancee' Visa .
