I am a USC. My husband is a LPR who has a son in Nicaragua who is 20 who he adopted when the child was 13. He adopted the child in 2004. We moved to the US in 2007 (he came on a fiance visa) and were married.

So, he had legal custody and lived with the child in Nicaragua for more than 2 years before he moved to the US. We were married after the adoption and before the child turned 18.

It is my understanding that I can file a I-130 to bring the child to the US since he would be considered my step-son. Is this correct?

Any insight would be helpful!

Yes, this is correct. He must remain unmarried though.
