First, Congratulations on your marriage .

Your husband will start the process of moving you and your son to the US by filing a form I-130 for each of you which is a petition to the US government requesting permission for you and your son to become immigrants. The first part of the process takes place in the US and the second part of the process will take place in Chile where you live. The visa you want is a CR-1 visa (spousal visa). There is a lot of good information at the top of this forum, as well as in the Guides at the top of every page. You will find reading the other posts in this forum very useful as the people posting in this forum are from many different countries and are going through the same process you are. They can help you and your husband with advice and information.

You may also want to visit the Latin America Regional forum http://www.visajourn...-the-caribbean/ as you will find other people who are coming from the same part of the world as you are there and you can write in your own language in that forum. They can also give you an idea of how long it takes to come from Chile to the US - it varies from country to country.

Good luck .
