Before getting married, a USC acknowledged his fiancee's son by having the son carry his surname. After marriage the woman wants to get her son in the Philippines. Is he entitled to a CR2 visa? is there any link that will help her file and process the petition? thanks to all.

An american Citizen acknowledged a son of his fiancee when he was born, can this son be petitioned as a legal son of the american under the Family code of the Phils. he is a legal son. Can this son use the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 in the US?

If the son is his then he needs to file a CBRA, If not he needs permission of the father named in the birth certificate and then file an 130 for a CR2

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

This is a situation where the DNA of the child is not the parent listed on the BC.

The Non-DNA parent is a USC, what they have done is created problems for theirself.

Lying to immigration will come to haunt them, if they submitt the BC as is.

Agreed, USCIS will require convincing proof of biological paternity for a child born out of wedlock. The two options would be (1) petition for the child as a step-parent, if married to the mom, or (2) adopt the child legally, and apply for him to be naturalized overseas using N-600K or petition for an immigrant visa as an adopted parent. If the USC adopts the child and petitions for an immigrant visa, the child would become a USC upon entering the U.S. as a legal permanent resident.
