My wife (a U.S. Citizen) wishes to file a petition so her sister (divorced) and her sister's 11yo daughter can come live in the US. Form I-130 states no separate form is needed when petitioning a brother/sister and his/her child. I assume she should also file a form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status). Is a separate form I-485 needed for the daughter as well? Is the I-485 fee then doubled?
It all seems like so much money. Form I-130 is $420, form I-485 is approx. $1000, then another $1000 for the daughter.
Any ideas how long from filing until they actually set foot in the U.S.
Thank You
