I already filed the petition and im on steps 2 of 1-6 pay fees, an dthey sent me a letter it says IF THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO ADJUST STATUS WITH U.S CITIZENSHIPS AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES PLEASE LET US KNOW BEFORE MAKING ANY PAYMENTS. my question is HE IS 18 NOW CAN I STILL ADJUST HIS STATUS TO BE U.S CITZEN OR NO?

Is your son currently in the US?

[judyjerangel 1]

No he' in the philippines

[apple21 953]

No he' in the philippines

Then he's not qualified for adjustment of status and he is not qualified to be a US citizen.

Did you file an i130?

hi

no, he won't derive your citizenship

to derive citizenship upon entry to the US, he would have needed to get his visa and enter the US BEFORE he turned 18.

If you have been a USC since 2010, why didn't you file sooner, to ensure that he entered before he turned 18?

he will enter as a LPR, and wait for 5 years to apply for citizenship with the N400 if he wants to become a USC
