I-130 for unmarried son over 21
#1
![Default](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I am a US citizen and filed an I-130 for our son in Jan 2004.
My husband is a PR. Is it worthwhile for him to file a petition for our son?
Or do we just wait and see how it goes for now?
Thanks.

Your husband SHOULD file for him. This will establish a priority date. If you later naturalize, the petition will then automatically convert. So its worth doing.
Also, I wish you continued good health -- but if you should die before your son immigrates, your visa petition will automatically be revoked. I've seen some sad cases with precisely this situation.

Can anyone advise me on another question? I filed the I-130 at the Nebraska office and a few weeks ago was notified that it had been sent to California. When we file the I-130 under my husband's name do we send it to Nebraska or California?

Same as before, read the instructions that came with the Form I-130!
