Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it.

True about DNA test. I didn’t realize a DNA test would be required if I was the one filing. I’d have to start discussing now to make sure he would be at least willing to participate in that. child was about 13 or 14 when we married. To be honest I am not 100 percent on his age. It was a casual relationship and my husband doesn’t talk much about it. I guesstimate based on dates he’s about 20-22, I just sent money for him to get a passport so I’m sure I can confirm actual age and birthdate. I’ll just ask him. Thank you for your reply!

He was born in 2000 I believe my husband naturalized in 2011

Hello everyone! I am interested in filing an i130 petition for my stepson. my current husband is also a us citizen (he became a us citizen through another path, not through me). He was not aware of this child until recently, and while he accepts him- he is not interested in filing for him. I would like him to be able to come to America to have a better opportunity and be apart of his sisters lives. I have a couple questions: 1) based on the above scenario am I able to file a petition for my stepson? 2) do I need an “ok” or any permission from my husband? If I will need permission or any involvement from him down the line- I rather not bother as my husband likely will not participate in the process. thanks in advance for your help
