A: Your daughter will have to file separate petitions for immediate relatives. And she will have to file petitions for other relatives.
A:
When filing an I-130 petition, also known as the Petition for Alien Relative, your daughter can petition for you as her parent. However, it is important to understand that the I-130 petition is specific to the relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary.
In your case, if your daughter is petitioning for you as her parent, the petition would typically cover your relationship only. It would not automatically include your spouse, your 3-year-old child, or your wife's child from a different parent. Each individual would need a separate I-130 petition filed on their behalf, either by a qualifying family member or through other eligible means.
If your daughter is a U.S. citizen and wishes to sponsor your entire family, including your spouse, your child, and your wife's child, it may be more appropriate to explore filing a different petition, such as the I-129F (Fiancé Visa) or the I-485 (Adjustment of Status) for your family as a whole. An immigration attorney can help you determine the best course of action based on your specific circumstances.
