Dear Visajourney family,

 

Kindly advise us in respect to my husband's son listed on his immigrant application as a child immigrating to the U.S at a later date to join him.

 

Thank you.

So one of you has petitioned him?

There are no derivatives for a CR1 visa.  The son would need a separate CR2/IR2 petition - a separate I-130 approved just for the son.

The child is my step son (husband's son).

 

Thank you.

Is it about whether you or you husband can petition for the child?

I think the OP is confusing the CR1 with a K1.  A K1 allows K2 derivatives, and they can follow-to-join within 1 year of the K1 fiance travelling to the US, if I recall correctly.

 

This does not apply to CR1/IR1.  All immediate relative visas require separate petitions.

My husband was asked on his online immigrant visa and alien registration application (DS-260) if he's (son) migrating to the U.S with him then or a later date to join him.

Answering yes to that question doesn’t create a petition for the son. If you are a citizen and sponsored your husband under CR1 or IR1, then there needs to be a separate petition filed for the child. This can be either you filing an IR2 petition for your stepchild  (assuming child is under 21) or your husband filing F2A; it would be preferable for a number of reasons for you to file IR2, including priority of such petitions, no quotas and no risk of aging out once filed.

Looking at your previous posts it seems your husband was DQ'd in Dec 2020?  If you asked this back then then a petition for the son could have been started and more than likely be approved by now.

 

Regardless, a new I-130 has to be filed for the son and there will be a similar timeframe for the process - about 2-3 years.

Dear Visajourney family,

 

I'm an American Citizen, after the approval of my husband's I-130.

 

My step son was stated on my husband's DS-260 (online immigrant visa and alien registration application) that he'll be immigrating to the USA at a later date to join us.

 

Do we need to file a I-824 or I-130 for the continuation of his immigration process / visa journey.

 

Kindly advise us.

I-130.  The step-son cannot be a derivative of your husband's case.   Either you or your husband will have to file an I-130 to start the process (assuming an I-130 was never filed for the step-son)..
