i have so many questions i would like to have answered.

I was around 5 when i was brought to the USA with permission and well i speak the language more than Spanish. I met my husband when i was 14 and when i was 16 we stated dating when i was 18 we moved in together we both did not believe in marriage because as soon as people get married they divorce shortly after. so shortly after i was pregnant with our son and just 2 months ago we got married so we can start the legal process so we can both return to to college and have a better future for our son.

My question is i now i have to start with the I-130 but is their any way i can obtain a visa to work while my legal work is been processed?????? my husband has a low paying job so its very hard to save up for the legal process.

**** Moving from K3 to AOS from Tourist etc visa as K3 visa is obsolete and OP seems to be in the country already ***

OP, how did you enter the USA? Ie with a visa, or sneaking across the border? What is possible depends on the answer to this but if you entered legally, then you can file AOS, and file for permission to work with it. You should get the EAD (permission to work) within a few months: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Forget about the K-3 or K-4 visas; they are obsolete. Spouses of U.S. citizens who are outside of the U.S. now file for CR-1 or IR-1 visas, so that is what you may seek. If the child was born in the U.S., he is a U.S. citizen and does not require a visa.

However, as others have stated, if you were admitted into the U.S. at a port of entry (and did not sneak, stowaway, or transit as a crew member) and can prove it, you should be eligible to adjust status, and do not need an immigrant visa. You say that you were "brought to the USA with permission" but this isn't enough information to prove whether you were admitted or not. You must file I-130 and I-485 together to adjust status from inside the U.S. If you are eligible to adjust status, you may file I-765 for an EAD to allow you to work.
