I-130 and bringing daughter over?
 

When my wife becomes a citizen (2 years) she would like to bring her
daughter and her husband over to this country but the I-130 instructions is
confusing and it sounds like you can only get a visa for the married
daughter but not the husband which sounds a little odd as it would brake up
the family?

Remember, it will probably take years for the USC to get married
children to the US, since married children are 3rd family preference.

Hi:

You are correct, your wife can file ONLY for her daughter. However, ALL that the I-130 does is classify her as the married daughter of a US citizen.

Now, when it comes time for daughter to immigrate, her husband and then children will be able to immigrate as "accompany or following to join."

BTW, the classfication is numerically restricted and for the month of November, 2002, they are granting visas to those whose I-130's were filed before November 15, 1996. [Please don't translate this as a "six year long line" -- we don't know how many people will be in front of her. These cut-off dates can go fowards, backwards and stand still].

Take care.
