My friend USC is married and now wants to file for his wife and her son to come to US with CR1. His question is "his step son is about to turn 21 in 6 months. If he applies right now for his wife does he needs to separately apply for him or if he is included in his mother petition what happens when he turns 21 before the petition is approved? Also is there anythingin law for him to do something for him as the step son of USC? please let me know. Thanks

the USCitizen Spouse MUST file 2 I-130 petitions - one for spouse, one for step-son -

is no 'tacking on' with a spousal visa, sorry.

This used to be 'do-able' for K-3/K-4, but that door is closed.

The step-son is eligible for a CR-2 IF the couple married prior to the step-son's 18 birthday - otherwise, sorry, forget it - not do-able.

He could, of course, just file, both petitions, and hope for the best.

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