[toddin1972]

Looking to request my son( who is over 21) and his child (8 years old) to the US. I-130, Is the fee amount paid for only my son ($535)? Or we have to pay another $535 for his child as well?

Your answer is truly appreciated..
Thanks

It's one I-130, and one fee of $535.

If two people are immigrating then two i130 are required, and therefore you will pay $535 each. My wife arrived. My new son is in school. He will come when school breaks. I did a separate i130 for him.

No. The OP can only petition his son. He cannot petition his grandchild. The grandchild can immigrate as the son's derivative beneficiary if the grandchild is still unmarried and under 21 at the time the son immigrates. There can only be one I-130 petition.

You may be thinking of the Immediate Relative category which cannot have derivative beneficiaries. This is different.

True! I overlooked that point

I was focusing on the fact that they will requre separate i130, and separate fees, I did not address who is petitioning.

There will only be one I-130, and one I-130 fee of $535. Many years later, when they immigrate, they will need separate immigrant visas, and will pay separate immigrant visa application fees, but the OP was asking about I-130 and the I-130 fee, of which there will only be one.
