Sir chief,

We all make mistakes sometimes when completing forms. I believe that it's not too late to include your husband' son. However, you are not petitioning your stepson. If your husband (beneficiary) is granted a visa to come to the USA, he will be coming alone without his son. Once he is here, he will now have to file a petition as permanent resident bringing family members to the USA. This is what he has to do for your stepson to join him here. So, you don't have to send your stepson birth certs to the NVC, but you can only write a separate statement explaining the situation when sending the DS230.

I hope this help!

Is the child immigrating too? Has a petition been filed for that child?

No problem! If you don't want to wait for your husband to petition your stepson, you can start the process of petitioning him yourself as stepmother.
