A:
To sponsor your boyfriend's children to come to the US from Nicaragua, you will need to follow a few important steps. First, you must be a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident. If you meet this requirement, you can begin the process by filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
You will need to provide proof of your relationship with your boyfriend, as well as evidence that you can financially support his children. This includes submitting documentation such as birth certificates, your income information, and any other relevant details to show that you can meet the financial requirements set by the U.S. government. It's crucial to ensure all paperwork is accurately completed to avoid any delays.
After submitting the petition, USCIS will review the application, and if approved, it will be sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will then process the case and eventually schedule an interview for the children at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in Nicaragua. Make sure to follow up regularly and be prepared to provide any additional information requested during this process.
