Petitioning my father who left when I was 4

[amerisian 5]

Hi, I wanted to see if anyone in this forum have experienced petitioning their father who left when they were young.

My father left when I was 4 and saw him again when I was 21 years old. He had not sent me any financial support growing up. 

He sent me few clothes and pictures when I was in elementary, that's all. I wanted to know if I can petition him. We became close after we see each other. 

I mean, we spent time together with my brother. We were close before he left when I was 4. It was a long story why he left and never came back.

I just petitioned my mother and she is awaiting for her visa and would like to petition my father short after my mother will arrive. In addition, my parents are not married. But my father's name is in my birth certificate. Thanks for any reply. Appreciate it.

Yes you can petition them as long as you are a USC and age 21+, and you have a current relationship with the parent.
