Hello all,
Here I am 6 or 7 years later after the k1 visa and my step son (16yo) is wanting to come to the US asap. He's had a pretty bad falling out with his mom and his mom is wanting to sign custody over to his dad (my husband).
So I have a few questions.
1. I understand that I'd have to fill out the i130. That is to start the process, correct?
2. The fastest way to get him here is the k4 visa paperwork, correct? Or is there something else that I should be looking into?
3. I thought I read somewhere online in my searches that there is an interview required for the k4 visa with his mother at the US embassy in their country (Chile) is that correct?
4. Is there anything else required of his mother? His mother is going to make this whole situation as difficult as she can, she wants her son to leave but anything dealing with my husband and to make life easy she will typically buck up against. We are writing up with our lawyer the document that she is to sign in order to give him custody so if there is anything else required of her to do then we want to make sure it is in that document.
Thank you all for your time!
Edit to add: My husband has not done the paperwork for his citizenship so he is still an LPR. So I believe I will be filling out the petition since I thought I saw it went through faster for citizens.
