I and my Husband both are US citizens. My husband has an out of wedlock child born outside of US and had legalized the child in the country where the child is currently residing. I adopted the child as a stepparent. The adoption was finalized again outside of US -in the country where the child is residing. I want to bring the child in US but my husband does not whant to file I- 130. Can I file I-130 to petition for the child as stepparent? Am I a stepparent or an adoptive parent according to the immigration law?.Does it make any difference Thank you for all your help.
