Bring son to USA

[Roro1963 0]

My husband is from Egypt and is now a citizen. He wants to immigrate his 11 year old son from Egypt. We were told the I-130 would be what we needed to do like we did for him and the processing time was about 5 months give or take. We are trying to plan on getting it done for in the summer to not disturb his school, we know we are too late for this summer but are trying to plan on when to start the process for next summer. Cairo only allows 6 months for traveling when the visa is granted, at least when my husband's visa was granted, so we need to take that into account. If anyone knows anything more I would appreciate more information.

File the petition now. The approved petition can sit at the NVC for up to a year before you pay the I-864 fee bill and submit the I-864. Once it goes to the consulate and the visa is issued then the visa should be valid for a further six months. You can't usually compress the time to fit a shorter schedule than the government works on, but you can usually stretch it out a little to fit your own schedule.

I know you did not ask this but thought I should let you know so you don't waste some time like I did. When your husband files the I-30 for his son, please remember to attach the I-864W AND NOT the I-864 plain. Your husband is exempt from proving income ability to support his son, because his son will become a USC upon admission at Port of Entry. Tag me when you start the process, if you have any questions. There are not many cases here on VJ for USC filing for their own natural born children. Most VJers are bringing fiance(es), spouses and step children. The rules are a little different for USCs bringing their own children.
