Bring son to US

I have a few questions about immigrating my son.

I am a current permanent resident, and have been for well over 10 years, I applied to become a US citizen and was accepted about 2 weeks ago( I have not received my oath ceremony appointment).

The reason I have done this is because I was a 2 and a half year old son who was born in Mexico, he does not have a tourist visa or anything. just his mexican passport.
I am curious about what I have to file to be able to bring him into the US

I was first told to file the N600, but then I was told I couldnt because that only applies if I had naturalized before I had my son, not after. someone else in this forum told me that if I move to Mexico, I could file the N600K for my son.

I spoke to an immmigration lawyer and she told me I had to file the I-30 and not the N600.

So now I am all confused, I am worried about the timing, my son is not in a good place right now, and I would like to bring him up here as soon as possible.

If I do have to file an I-30 how long would this take? assuming I become naturalized before starting his paperwork.

any help or advise would be great!
 
I assume his mother is in Mexico. You have other matters to consider before moving him. It would be in your best interests to work with an attorney on both issues.
 
in my opinion if you the real mother of your son and hes under your family name,plus on the birth certificate and under 21,then i am sure you have to do i-130.(because he is in mexico)
the n-600 you do only if he was here in the usa,but if you have your son here,i think it will be the same procedures i-130 ,i-485 and so on...

Now i am not sure if you may do it now,the papers or wait in till you have the citizen paper in hand.,then apply.
my opinion,

hope all works for you.

Your question was already answered in the other thread. Either you reside in Mexico with him and file N-600K, or you stay in the US and file I-130 to bring him to the US with a green card, followed by applying for N-600 and/or a US passport.
