Hi Im Marie please help me.

I have a boyfriend who is a US Citizen. In March 2009, I came to the US on a tourist's visa. I left my 13 year old son in the Phils. I was given 6 months to stay. My boyfriend and I would get married this coming August. My questions are:

1. After we get married, should my husband file an I-130 petition for me and my son OR I can proceed directly to apply for adjustment of status without filing the I-130 anymore?

2. If I can proceed directly to apply for adjustment of status, when can I bring my child to the US? Should I wait until I receive my greencard?

Thank you very much in advance for whatever information you can share to me.

1) yes, no

2) when he has a visa

YMMV

Hi.

I've been in the US twice on a tourist visa. We did not get married because my annulment is beiing processed. During my third visit (now) I learned that my annulment was granted. Instead of returning to the Philippines I thougt it would be better for me to get married here to save some money for teh fare of my child. So I do not have any intention to commit any immigration fraud.

In that case, you can proceed directly to adjustment of status but that includes filing an I-130. Your son will need a CR2 visa. That process starts with your husband filing an I-130 on behalf of his step-son. Follow the AOS guide for you and the CR1/IR1 guide for your son. Be prepared to show evidence your plans changed after your arrival in the USA, as the burden is on you.
