The principal applicant has to arrive first, the dependents must land within the validity of their visa.

thank you for your reply, PMM. do you mean that 1st trip should be done just by principal applicant without dependents?

He can come alone or with everyone else... He has to land first, after that you can do as you wish (within the visa validity). The only restriction is that the dependents cannot come first without the principal applicant before he has landed.

the complete process for citizenship will take longer than 3 years. by that time dependents can qualify for citizenship too.

if you don't want your dependents to accompany you, you just mention them as not accompanying, this way you can sponsor them any time after your receive you PR or citizenship.
