Bringing a minor child here in USA

[van&neil 1]

Hi I filed petition for my 7 years old son last January 2016 and Im a Green card holder but I got email from NVC that I should wait until visa number become available which is more than years of waiting. Is there any way I can bring my 7 years old child here immediately without waiting years ? Thank you

When you become a citizen you can update that USCIS...this WILL help proceed quicker. Till then NO

I see your K1 you should have done the K2

yes Im K1 but I been here already more than a year so filing for k2 is not valid. Thank you , I made a huge mistake , I should let my husband file the petition instead of me .

You should not have filed, your husband should have filed the petition for your son, completed the I-130 for an IR-2 visa. This process takes roughly a year from petition to visa issuance.

I know I totally messed up all my plans, its been 7 months now since I filed and nothing happen yet. I already booked him a flight to come with us back here in USA on November but it seems too impossible. I miss my son so much.

Withdraw your current petition and get the I-130 going with your husband petitioning your son.

Thank you, that means I have to pay another $440? How can I withdraw my petiton?

Please tell me what should I do now? should I call USCIS to change my petition?

Yes that means another fee. You write a letter telling USCIS to cancel that petition and mail to USCIS, at the address where your NOA came from.

You can't change your existing petition, can only cancel it and start over.

Thank you Hank, I guess even my husband file now I wont get a visa till November so I think I will have to wait , my PD is January 22,2016 so another year of waiting before I can bring my son here

Thing to know is what is the PD that is being served now.

Having your husband start a new petition will be faster
