Hi

Read up on The child status protection act www.bcis.gov or look at front page of www.immigration.com

It is my understanding that provided you apply for son before 21st then he should be protected

My son is protected by cspa (chief liason with DOS ) and have a brillient lawyer. If you would like his details pm me


If your son is in US file I 485 or if son is in home country file I 824

Hi

Your son is follow to join

Is wife LPR? Living with you in US? what is country of birth?

You should submit I 824 TSC is working on applications filed March 2005 so the wait should not be too long

Not sure if both you and wife can send I 824 each or what happens if one party dies, but if this is a possiblity you can request expedite with application and doctors letter

Once I 824 is filed (under 21years) then child should be protected if he has to wait for a visa number. He must remain unmarried though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have sent you a pm, you should really talk to Jonathan, by all means PM your tel number and I will call you

Hi

Did you do adjustment of status whilst in US or did your USC son sponcer you for green card in your home country? or did you come here another way?

What is the country of your birth?

You can see that the answer to your concerns are not as straight forward as we think

[afarrukh]

my citizen son filed for us and we came from pakistan and just got green card here and now wantt o apply for son who is under 21 in pakistan.

[afarrukh]

it seems like we can not apply for our son "follow to join" because we came here on our sons petetion. are we fall in "immediate reletive"?

read below:

f you had children before you became a permanent resident and you did not immigrate as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, your unmarried, minor children may be eligible to receive following-to-join benefits. This means that you do not have to submit a separate USCIS Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) for your children, and your children will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. See the Petitioning Procedures for more information on following-to-join benefits. Otherwise, children of LPRs will be eligible for a visa when their priority date is listed on the Department of State Visa Bulletin.
