I have a few questions-

I brought my husband (then fiancée') here on K-l visa. He is now a permanent resident. His son (my step-son) wants to move here. He was 16 when we got married, he is now 20 and unmarried. He will turn 21 in December. [we did not file when my husband came because the child's mother didn't want him to move, but she is now supportive of him coming here.]

1. Who should file- me or my husband? I'm thinking my husband should.

2. My husband has his naturalization interview in May- if he files to bring his son here while he is a permanent resident, will it make a difference or create delays/cause us to have to make changes if he becomes a citizen while the application is in process. Or should we wait until after he becomes a citizen (we just don't want his son to turn 21 before we can get him here)

3. His daughter wants to come but not until next year after she graduates high school-I'm thinking we should wait to file for her next year- Is that correct?

Thanks in advance for your help...I've been on visa journey for a while but am unfamiliar with this area...all help is appreciated.

Was the son under 18 when you got married?

If so, you should file.

Thanks for the info so far, very helpful..

So if I file this month we will be ok if he turns 21 before they get everything done?

Will it change anything if my husband becomes a naturalized citizen while I have this application in process?
