It could also be possible that the son was visiting and then afterwards they've decided the son should stay with this mother. I guess the dating of the letter from the father would identify intent or not to the USCIS.

Yes, you are right . my son have been living in U.S for 3 month now then he decided to stay because he like the weather ( we are live in San Diego ) and he like the new friends here specially he is so happy with his new home . So I get start to find the information and contract his father to sent the letter after my son arrived to U.S 3 months.

That is a very interesting question. I didn't even think of that angle. I am happy to find the child is here and the O P did a great job in getting this permission letter in advance. I haven't seen this done before.

I myself am working on my citizenship and found that to get my daughters citizenship I only have to apply for a U S passport for her after I am a citizen. When she gets the passport she becomes a citizen!

I am interested to see what is required, if anything, to convert the childs status from tourist to citizen. My daughter entered with a K 4 so I think its handled differently.

As I am a U.S. citizen, my son (under 21 years old and unmarried) is in the category of "Immediate Relative" and I can file for him with an I-130 visa petition, and at the same time submit his I-485 (adjustment of status to permanent resident).
