That is a very interesting question. I didn't even think of that angle. I am happy to find the child is here and the O P did a great job in getting this permission letter in advance. I haven't seen this done before.

I myself am working on my citizenship and found that to get my daughters citizenship I only have to apply for a U S passport for her after I am a citizen. When she gets the passport she becomes a citizen!

I am interested to see what is required, if anything, to convert the childs status from tourist to citizen. My daughter entered with a K 4 so I think its handled differently.

As I am a U.S. citizen, my son (under 21 years old and unmarried) is in the category of "Immediate Relative" and I can file for him with an I-130 visa petition, and at the same time submit his I-485 (adjustment of status to permanent resident).

It could also be possible that the son was visiting and then afterwards they've decided the son should stay with this mother. I guess the dating of the letter from the father would identify intent or not to the USCIS.

Yes, you are right . my son have been living in U.S for 3 month now then he decided to stay because he like the weather ( we are live in San Diego ) and he like the new friends here specially he is so happy with his new home . So I get start to find the information and contract his father to sent the letter after my son arrived to U.S 3 months.

Do you and your husband not file taxes jointly? You would list the total income amount from your joint taxes for #13. Otherwise you list the total income from your tax returns there. You are filing the I-864. And yes, you enter his current income again in #10 and check #11. He needs to provide an I-864A and his supporting documentation.

Hi Jay-Kay ,Thank you for your answer. Yes, I file taxes jointly. I did everything same as you wrote I hope everything will be fine.

I am American citizen based on marriage to U.S. citizen.

Since my marriage, my son has been living in Thailand with my parents. Now he is here with me with six months Visitor Visa. I want to apply Green card for him. He is 15 years old and his father lives in Thailand and he is Thai citizen. I was not married when I had my son. I came to US with Fiancé’ VISA and married my husband.

That is very good news. But how will you explain that if asked why the child came on a tourist visa? Of course I want this to all go great but there may be questions about all of this that you need to be prepared for.

My son came to U.S.A . as a tourist visa last year then go back to Thailand but This year he come to visit me again and he want to live here with me in U.S.A. He happy to be here and love me and I love him want to take care of him .He will have a good friend and a good life here with me.This is my answer .
