Can I apply for a Visa for my father In- Law and stepson???

[ixsa 0]

I brought my husband her from the Dominican Republic 2yr ago, He's a resident not citizen yet.

My husband isn't able to apply for his father as he still isn't a citizen yet, I tying to see if I'm able to bring my father in-law or co-apply with my husband to bring him.

I'm also waiting to bring my stepson, I know as his stepmother I can apply for a visa, I wonder if it would be faster and better if I fill out the I-130 as I'm American, or would it be better for my husband to do so. I'm trying to see witch is faster as I don't want to wait till he's to much older as he's 12yr old and the older he gets the more difficult school will be for him.

I would appreciate any help any one could give me

hi

only your husband can file for his father

you can file for stepson, as long as his mother consents and authorizes to live here in the US

You can not file for a father-in-law. An LPR can not file for a father. Your husband must be a USC in order to file for his father.

There is no such thing as co-applying. There can only be one petitioner.

It's faster for the USC stepparent to file than for an LPR parent to petition a child. It would take a year for you to petition for your stepson. It would take 2 years for your LPR husband to file for his son.

What do I need to show his mothers consent?

Who has custody? Is there a court order?

hi

does the child live with his mother? does she have legal custody of him?

if so, he cannot leave the country without his mother's consent, since he is a minor

Do I only need to complete the I-130 and show proffer of being his stepmother? Yes. Follow the Guides. Your marriage certificate and the child's birth certificate are needed to show that through the father, you became his stepmother before he turned 18.

What do I need to show his mothers consent? Mom needs to sign a notarized letter stating she is allowing the child to immigrate to the US. You would need this at the interview. Do not send it with the I-130.
