Child issue after married foreign husband in US
I will be a US citizen marrying a naturalized Belgian citizen (orig. from Tanzania) and doing Direct Consular Filing in Belgium. He has a daughter, of Tanzanian nationality, still over there, whom he wants to bring over to the US. It does not seem that there is the opportunity to get her to come to Belgium first.So we will proceed from the US.
1)How soon can he start the procedure? 2)What is the procedure? 3)how long does it take?
Is there any other alternative (fastest?).Thanks everyone! FG
how about you reading www.uscis.gov and www.travel.state.gov? it has a wealth of information.
Then, ask questions about particular things you dont understand or want more details on.
I am pretty sure that you can petition for a step-child while you petition your husband.
As long as the child is under 18.
on the I-130 there is a spot there to list all people directly related to him.
Thanks BB! Do you think it might work since they (father and daughter) have two diffferent nationalities and are located in two different places? So the US embassy in Belgium does not need to see the child "physically to approve of her coming to the US? Does the US embassy in Belgium work with the US embassy in Tanzania? Thanks you for your answer(s).
