Hi guys and gals, on the I-130 I'am going to sponsor my step son so the process will be quicker, but question # 1, 2 I have a question about, I put my child because step child is not a option. And do I put by adoption? really doesn't sound right but just want to make sure thanks in advance.

Hi Glenn...First of all, you dont need to create a new thread for all your questions. You can just ask in one thread itself. It helps people to know your full story and also helps declutter the forum.

If you have legally adopted your stepson, then you can put him just as your son. You will need to submit adoption papers etc along with his birth certificate. If you havent adopted him legally yet, then you cant sponsor him. You need to finish the adoption process.


Also are you the main petitioner or you are just a sponsor for the purpose of Affidavit of Support?

If the person you are applying for is not currently on USA and you aren't applying for AOS, type N/A.

If you will file for AOS indeed, type the location.

Ok, sorry about the 2 topics. As far as adoption, no I have not legally adopted him, I'm not sure how that process works since I'm married to his mother so legally I'm assuming I would be his step father and be able to sponsor him.

I heard the process was about 1 year faster if I were to sponsor him.

I should note that he is a 12 y.o

First of all hari29 is completely wrong.......

You have every legal right to petition your stepson....for immigration purposes your stepson is YOUR child.

You file an I-130 petition for him.......his visa application will fall under the IR-2 visa category.
