I seriously doubt your husband came on a K3

 

Either or both of you can file I 130 say 2 years?

Correct, he did not. He was in the US when we did an adjustment. I wasn't sure if the child would be eligible for one even if he didn't come in that way. He was on a tourist visa. 

Sooner you file the quicker it will be

I presume you mean your husband was on a tourist visa, not the stepson.

 

safest route is for you to file ir2 petition- your husband can file for F2A son of LPR but those petitions have lower priority and there is a risk that the priroty dates retrogress at some stage which will make it even longer. If you do it this way, probably 10-12 months uscis processing times (this shows at most uscis service centers but one is 16 months), 2-3 months NVC processing time, plus however long it takes to get in the interview queue at CDJ. Unlikely to be looking at less than 2 years till he gets a visa.

Yes, my husband was on a tourist visa. It looks like I-130 is the best option. 

Only option

My step-son has asked to come live with us in the US, he's in Mexico. I am a US citizen and my husband is currently in the US with a conditional GC. 

 

What options do we have? Quickest process time?

 

Would our son qualify for a K4 visa? 

How old is the step-son?
