One I-130, I-485, and I-765.

A 3-year-old will ride piggyback on his mom's petition.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Are you sure about that? Without underlying I-130 petition, the child (stepson) won't be able to adjust - it's not one of the K visas, it's an AOS from tourist visa.

I say I-130, I-485 each for mom and the child - mom can even go for the EAD, not sure about AP as we don't know how long the overstay was.

I'm not sure what to do. I went to one lawyer and he said for both. But he also wanted 3,000 to do the paperwork. Then I asked a immigration lawyer on justanswer.com and she said just the mom. I was thinking of doing just mom and if nothing send in another application for him. But I'm a bit lost with this one

I just re-read the I-130 instructions and it states that each relative needs their own I-130, and then on the I-485 instructions, it got very confusing with legal custody and blah blah blah, so not sure about that.

Someone will probably come along here that really knows for sure, but for the end-all, you can make INFOPASS appointment at your local USCIS office and ask them. They will help you with forms and get you on the right track. Good luck!

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

5/23/12: Sent out package

I say 2 full sets - but

hey !

call USCIS, ask for an ISO - see http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/structure/gc_1221837986181.shtm#5

and ask the question there?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

noooooo, no riding piggyback on an I-130 or I-485..... each requires a separate petition/application.

YMMV
