Bringing My Son Urgently

[weeshazza 0]

Ok , im back on here as a new member , lost all old details , blah blah....

anyway , been in US now 4 months was K1 visa , married , and settling , i think

now i have read as much as i can on follow to join benefits , i have the I-130 ready to go , but what i need to know is ,

Can my 16 year old son come to states and live while i am waiting on his approval?? I know UK citizens can come for 3 months??

He isnt coping very well at home with his father and im extremely worried about his health!

And if he cant , is there a long waiting time?? Im not sure he or i can wait to see what happens.

Thanks guys.....

You will be doing a K-2 follow to join, you can do this up to 1 year after getting the K-1, you need to contact the US consulate in your home country, and request them to send out the K-2 Packet 3 for your son. You may also contact DOS Visa services @ 202-663-1225 and ask.

You don't need to file an I-130, if you take that path you will be looking at a LONG wait for a F-1 Limited family based visa for a child of LPR.

Your son cannot enter the US on the visa waiver program with the intent to immigrate. This path puts him at risk since VWP participants expressly waive the right to contest deportation. Your son will have to wait in the UK until he gets an immigration visa.
