Hi. My case is kinda complicated and i need your advices folks. I just filed my adjustemnt of status tru marriage last month. And its in process right now. i have a 22 yr old son who have been living here for 5 yrs now, diagnosed to have mental retardation. I want to apply for his citizenship but since my husband who is his biological father is not earning much i would like to apply for waiver of fee for his n400(citizenshil. My question is, would it affect my aos application since its a clear manifestation that my husband cannot afford even the fee for my son? And he is my petitioner.. i hope i made my point clear. Thank u.

I'm slightly confused. You say you just filled for AOS. If that is the case you are a few years away from qualifying for citizenship. 

 

Are you a green card holder? If so, for how long?

I'm assuming her husband is the USC, and the child is his. Correct, OP?

Haha. Its kinda complicated i know. This is the scenario. I just got here last nov with k1 visa. I have 3 children here who went 5 yrs ahead of me because they were follow to join derivatives of my husband. Since my 22 yr old son is now eligible to be a US citizen, im thingking of applying for him for a fee waiver. Im worried that it would affect my application for adjustment of status? Thank

Got it now, thanks. You son qualifies for citizenship...your status is irrelevant then.

 

I'll defer to others, but I don't think it would directly affect your AOS. That said, if your son qualifies for the waiver then your husband very likely doesn't meet the financial requirements for AOS (125% of the federal poverty line), and a joint sponsor will be needed.
