Hello....a bit confusing but I will try to help you.

You are not married so you cannot file for anything except a Fiance' Visa (K-1/K-2). Since you are a U.S. citizen, your child is automatically a USC also. You did register/notify the local embassy in Bogota, I presume. Are you living and working in the USA now? You do not have to have anything relating to your tax returns until the final phases of your petition process. Read the guides on this forum and things should be somewhat clearer to you. We were all "newbies" at one time. The process is pretty straightforward and you can do it yourself. You need to be careful with the way you word your questions on this forum. Most people want to help you but the clearer you can explain yourself the better off you will be. For example, this woman you refer to is not your "wife." She becomes your "wife" at the wedding, do you understand my point? At that point, you can petition for a K-3 Visa for her. IF the child is yours, you can get a U.S. Passport for him/her with very little effort. In fact, when this child has a U.S. Passport...technically, you could travel to the USA with the child and a "permission to travel" document signed by the mother.

Good Luck!!!!

PS There is no way to speed up this process...it takes as long as it takes to process the people who filed before you. Explaining that you "miss someone" does nothing to help your cause. We all miss our girl/boyfriends or wife/husbands. You must learn to have patience with this process.

But, mom cannot come along until she has her Visa...K-1 if you petition now or K-3 if you petition after marriage.

PSS Just curious...why doesn't the child have a U.S. Birth Certificate? If he is your child, he qualifies to be a USC. And, you can't do an I-130 because she is not an "Alien Relative" of yours. At this point, her status with you is simply the mother of your child. And, your fiance', of course.
