Wife wants to bring son here now on K2?

[rondrum42]

Can anyone help?

As you can see from our timeline that we went thru all the

proper steps to get Li here and now has 2yr Green Card.

She wants to bring her 18yr old son here now, an we are

not sure how to go about it on our own. He didnt want to come here

back when she did, but now wants to come and give it a try.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Ron

The K-2 follow to join limit is one year from the date your wife entered the country.

 

Depending on his age on Dec 30, 2007 (the date you got married) - you can file an I-130 for your step-son (child for immigration purposes), and he could be here within a few months to a year - IF he wasn't yet 18 on that date.

 

If he was already 18, your wife would have to file (the wait for a child of an LPR is MUCH longer)

He was 16 when we filed the K1

She will be here 2 years in December.

And yes, he is now 18

The Key point is was she younger than 18 WHEN YOU MARRIED, if so the US Citizen files an I-130 for an immigrant visa for step child.
