I need help on Petition for my step child

[rb_10]

Hi,

I am US Citizen and I did Petition for my Wife and Petition get approved already by USCIS and also I have paid fees $120 for Affidavit of support. My wife has a 10 year old son from her previous marriage and I want to bring him here. when I fill I130, I didn't mention his name on it, because he is studding in India and we both need some time to introduce each other. Now I am thinking to bring him here along with my wife, but have no idea what to do. I have some question, if some one can help on this.

Question #1. what document I need to apply for him? or my wife can add his name directly into DSL form, so he can come here along with his mother?

Question #2. will it be delay current process for my wife and how long?

Question #3. In case if it will be delay much current process for my wife, I don't want make it to delay. so me or my wife can do Petition for him in future?

Greatly appreciate to response of my question's answer with proper procedure with instruction/information.

Thanks

You will need to submit a new I-130 for the child. He should have been listed on page 2 of your wife's I-130, but you would still have had to submit an I-130 for the child.

It will not delay processing for your wife, unless she chooses to wait until the child's paperwork catches up.

You can follow up with the child paperwork, new or existing, in the future.
