Is this your biological son or stepson? If he is your biological son, did he qualify for CRBA?

 

if he is your stepson, then yes, the same process as your husband

Thank you he is my step son

hi

 

except for the i130A and proof of bona fide marriage that you don't need in this case, everything else is the same

 

proof of marriage to his father, plus a copy of his birth certificate to prove relationship to his dad

You have to provide background information for anyone to be able to help you. i130 is a general petition for Family and Relatives. How old is your son, maybe he qualify for visa waiver depending on his age and your Citizenship Status. But if it's a standard application for a child over the age of 21 then you need to file i130. Feel free to ask any other questions or concerns.

Thank you Mr. Ashraf 

It is my step son that I am filing for his father which is my husband has been here in the US for about a year now and we are now in the position to file for his child to come and join us. He is 12 years out at this time and the I-130 seems to be very confusing.

You should make inquiries as to what is needed from his ex wife to allow the child to move to the US permanently. Usually it is sole custody of the child, but it can vary by country so if she agrees they should ask a family lawyer. You don't want her to change her mind in a few months so they should have a formal written agreement in place.

Agree with coco. Always make sure you have the legal capacity to remove the child before you start any petitions and pay any fees. Many people believe they are giving the child a "better life" by bringing them to the USA but unfortunately not all overseas family courts (or equivalents) agree with that. Many believe that children are better off in a familiar environment surrounded by friends and family and not changing schools. Often they are right.
