Hello. I need a little advice. I am a US citizen, I filed i-130 for my daughter. I read that I can file i-129f for her once I receive the I-797 NOA. But When i look at the form i-129f, i see that i have to check k1 or k3(fiance or spouse). Should i leave this part unchecked and put my daugther's name as beneficiary?
Thanks for your help
A: The Form I-129F is used by a U.S. Citizen to sponsor a fiance(e) for a K-1 visa or a spouse for a K-3 visa. It is not used to sponsor children; not directly anyway. If your fiance(e) or spouse has children and you are filing the I-129F for your fiance(e) or spouse, then that fiance(e) or spouse's children can be identified on the same Form I-129F; such that you do not need to file separate petitions for your step-children (or your own children that do not already have a claim to U.S. Citizenship). Contact a reputable immigration attorney if you have additional questions/concerns.
