I-130 for 18yrs old son
Hi
I have been in the country for 7 years and am a Permenant Resident(came on a Fiance Visa), married to a US citizen, my son who was on my initial visa application, but did not move with me. He has now turned 18 in March, and has just told me that he would like to move here. I have a couple of questions?
1. Should it be my wife(not biological mother) or I that applies?
2. If we can both apply does it make any difference ,time wise, which one of us does it?
3. Would he be able work?
Thanks Kenny T

Re: I-130 for 18yrs old son
Your US citizen wife should apply, then your son can be processed within few months. If you apply, it will be many years of waiting instead. Sure he can work when he arrives here as he'll be a permanent resident.
Btw, you should apply for citizenship if you are eligible.
