This is a way of for now but we are just looking into it to ger ready for next year.

OK heres the story. By the time this happens I will be a USCand my wife already is a USC. My son who will be 15 wants to come and live with us. I called USCIS and they have told me that we can file both an I-130 and also I-485 (AOS) concurrently while he is still here in the USA without having to return to the UK. However if I was NOT a citizen but just a LPR, we would have to file I-130 and he would have to wait for his case to be approved and a green card issued before he could move here, basically having to return to the UK after their annual summer holiday with me and my wife.

So I guess my main question is, once I am a USC, my son can travel here and we can just file I-130 and I-485 together without him having to return home after 90 days (He will be coming from the UK so would travel on Visa Waiver). Any experience in this would be gratefully recieved.

Entering the US as a tourist with the intent to adjust status to permanent resident is probably not such a good idea, not only because it's illegal, but also because it can backfire badly.

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.

Your wife can file for him now, by next summer he should have his immigrant visa.

Like I said we talked with USCIS on this matter, I may have been a little less forthcoming with the full information as it is of a personal natture. Basically its a whole different ballgame from now where I am just a LPR, that changes when I get my citizenship finalised. Thanks for the information though, I appreciate it but on this one I'll follow the course USCIS have given me.

The famous misinformation line.....

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
