HI GUYS,

I am so grateful to a friend who introduced me to your site, I read and learned a lot of information that really bothered in my mind. Still there are things i want to seek your ideas/opinions. My fiance filed the I-120F last july, 2007 and it is now forwarded in California for processing. I have a 16year old son, which my fiance mentioned in the petition. And i read that there is a derivative status K2 for my son upon the approval of the K1 petition. Right? My 16year old son will be graduating in high school next year. And after graduation that will be the time for me(us) to go to the US, if the petition will be approved by that time. My plan is since i have already a college plan for my son, i will let him continue his studies in the PHillippines considering that education in the STates is so expensive. And i dont think my fiance will spend that for my son. My concern is this, I will let him go with me in the States but he has only to stay for a month or two(just for vacation), just for the purpose to attend the wedding, coz i want that he will be the one to "give-away" me to his step dad during the wedding ceremony. My question is, Is it good that i will apply/get him a US TOURIST VISA?? Or the K2 derivative status is mandatory, and that it should the one use by my son in going with me to the STates.?? And besides my fiance is not acceptable to the idea that my son will stay with us for good at the early part of our marriage, since we are still in the adjustment period? He wants us to be alone, only the two of us, and will just petition my son later? What do you think? What should i do? hope you can give me ur golden ideas. Thanks and God bless

Your son is not likely to be issued a tourist visa but could enter on a K2 visa with no problem. If the plan is for him not to stay, then you would just not file to adjust his status. He can return to the PI, when ready. Later, your then husband can petition for an immigrant visa (IR2 or CR2) to bring your son (his step-son) here as a permanent resident. For this to work, your marriage must take place before the son's 18th birthday and he must complete the immigrant visa process before age 21.
