Bringing son over 21(with I-130)by student visa

[payxibka 10,044]

Yes I am the petitioner.I am not still a USC.I got married to a native USC in January 2007.It is supposed just I can apply when I get 3 married years.

When did you become an LPR? You can naturalize at a date no earlier than 3 yrs married or 3 years permanent residence (whichever is later).... So at a minimum the naturalization is January 2010 but most likely it is a little later than that due to when your greencard was issued.

I have the temporaly GC.It was issued in June 26 of 2007.

I did petition for him last year( July 2007).My GC was issued June 2007,so after when I am an USC,how long must wait? What is the difference ?

Right now Family 2B is Dec 1999 so it appears the wait is at least 8 years from date of petition approval

As a USC your son would be family first and that is Apr/May 2002... so three years faster....

8 Years as an LPR

5 Years as a USC

Consular officials have every right to deny any visa to any given person at any given time. ( I know this very very well.) If you're soon is waiting for his I-130 US Consulate may not grant him any kind of visa until the process is complete.
