还是帮朋友问移民的事。大儿子和前妻在美国,大儿子美国公民。父亲和小儿子以及现在的妻子在中国,都是中国公民。父亲再婚时大儿子不满14岁。问题:
大儿子给父亲申请移民。父亲办理移民手续时,是否可以将小儿子作为derivative beneficiary 一起申请?
-No. He needs to file another I-130 for his brother, and wait for a very long time (> 10 years). The fastest way for the child to immigrate to US is that the father files I-130 for his son after the father becomes a green card holder, which may take about two to three years.
By the way, the son (US citizen) also needs to file a separate I-130 for his step-mother, just as he does for his father.
还是说必须是等父亲拿到旅客后再给小儿子申请?
-Yes, that is the best way.
小儿子现在11岁
