Do my children need to have their own passport?

When considering an immigration process to the United States, especially under the EB-2 NIW visa, many doubts arise regarding the necessary documents for the entire family. A common question is whether the children need to have their own passports.

The answer is yes: each child accompanying the principal applicant in this type of process must have their own passport. Regardless of being considered derivatives in the application, it is essential that each one possesses an individual passport, valid and compliant with the requirements of the country of origin and the United States immigration authorities. This requirement ensures that the identification and registration of each minor are correct during the visa analysis, which is fundamental to avoid delays or setbacks in the process.

Furthermore, it is worth emphasizing that strictly following each procedure indicated by immigration laws is very important. It is advisable to always seek updated and reliable information through official channels and specialized professionals. Avoiding scams or marketing campaigns that promise miraculous results is essential to guarantee a safe and trouble-free application.

Finally, keeping the documentation of each family member up to date, such as their respective passports, is a crucial part of the preparation for the immigration process. In this way, the entire family will be aligned with the requirements, enabling a smoother and more effective visa application analysis.
