Hi guys..I am currently waitng for my AOS, I came here in the US under K1 visa, I have a son back home. He is supposed to follow me this summer but with this kind of economy looks like it is not just a good time for us..And my son told me he still want to stay back home. I dont have my EAD yet so I still don't work, and my husband is working but he doesnt make a lot and he is doing a little bit of schooling..

My question is, will my husband be able to sponsor my son under the I-130 or does it have to be me to be the sponsor? I will only be a conditional resident by then.Thanks for any input....

Thanks SDW..glad to know...I was just worried that if he doesn't come now on his K2 visa, we will be having a hard time sponsoring him when his K2 expires...such a relief to know..

LOT better if there is any way you can continue with the K2. Who knows what will happen "down the line". All cost will go up including airfare.

The adoption here in Hawaii was VERY easy. I hired a lawyer and he did it all for $1,000. I guess I could have done it myself but I was burned out on paperwork from the immigration process. It only took 1 1/2 months from start to finish.

Anak was eligible for her US citizenship a few months later and I applied for her US Passport and she got it.

Hi,

How old was your son when you and your husband got married?

If he was under 18, your husband as a USC can file for him as a stepchild and your son won't have to wait for a visa number.
