I am processing now an I-130 and I have a question on if and how to bring her son's. I know when the ds-230 is filled it asks if there will be someone to come with her. One son is 25 and the other is 18 and he turned 18 before we married. I was wondering what is involved in now bringing the 18 not 19 year old over here as well. Will his mother have to fill an I-130 for him and can she do this before receiving her immigration visa and or green card. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Your wife can file for the 25 year old son after she is a permanent resident (after US entry on an immigrant visa or having adjusted status on a non-immigrant visa) but it will take several years. The 18 year old is in the same boat but there is a way to get him here with her. You would file I-129F using the "for a spouse" instructions. When the wife is awarded a K3 visa the younger son can have a K4 visa. There are some additional complications after arrival you'll want to study up on or review with an attorney but at least he can come. If you don't go the K3 route both sons are in the same boat.

I have already applied for the immigration visa for their mother. It I hope will be approved before to long. Her youngest son will turn 19 next month. I was trying to see if there was any way to allow him to come when she is approved. Or what will be involved later in bringing them over here. I thank you for your quick reply to the first message. I am trying to learn all possible ways to bring them here. I thought maybe for the youngest since he is in college to see if could get a transfer that way. The oldest I know will have to be done differently. Thanks again for your help.

Both could try for Student Visa's.

The problem with the K4 route is aging out, he wold need to adjust before 21, and it sounds like you are effectively at the start of that process.

A student visa is another option for the younger son.
