NEED HELP PLEASE

[excel 1]

Just gotten my US-citizenship,and my son( less than 10 years old) lives abroad(outside usa)--What forms do i us to file or him,and will there be visa readily available for him or i still need 2 wait on visa bulletin for his case 2b current after i file for him

I think this belongs to another discussion section but I'll give you a link for reference

Official Family-based Immigrant Visas

I have a question, what's the difference between :

IR-2: Unmarried Child Under 21 Years of Age of a U.S. Citizen

and

Family First Preference (F1): Unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens, and their minor children, if any. (23,400)

I mean if i were USC, why would I go for F1 which is limited based on visa # available.

Why not go for IR-2 which is not subjected to visa availability?

IR-2 is for minor unmarried children. F1 is for adult sons and daughters. F3 is for married sons and daughter, whether minors or adults.

excel, your son is eligible for an IR-2. He won't have to wait for his priority date to be current. There will be a visa number available for him as soon as the petition is approved and received by the NVC.

BTW, your son will become a US citizen as soon as he is admitted to the US as an immigrant; i.e., by entering with an IR-2 immigrant visa. After he arrives you should file an N-600 with USCIS to get a certificate of citizenship for him.
