Q: Who do I put as my granddaughter's petitioner on ds-260 application?
I'm petitioning my son and he has a daughter accompanying him. I paid for her fee and started her ds-260 application. In there, it's asking who the petitioner is, is it still me?
A:
In your situation, as the petitioner for your son on his immigration application, you are also considered the petitioner for his daughter, your granddaughter. When completing the DS-260 application for your granddaughter, you should list yourself as the petitioner. This is because the petition you filed for your son extends to his eligible dependents, which includes his daughter.
It's important to ensure that all information provided on the DS-260 forms is accurate and consistent across both your son's and granddaughter's applications. If you have any doubts or need further clarification, it's advisable to consult with an immigration attorney or a reliable source familiar with immigration procedures. They can provide guidance specific to your case and help navigate any complexities involved.
Roland Godfrey Ottley agrees with this answer
A: I will presume that you are a US citizen and care son is single or he is married. Or in the alternative, I will presume that you are a green card holder and your son is not married. In any event, he would also be able to file for your son's daughter who would be granddaughter. No separate application would be required for the granddaughter and she would be a derivative for Sherry of your application for lawful permanent resident status for your son.
