Start communication with an US family based attorney, seek his advise regarding visitation rights.

Keep in mind your son can petition for family based green card when he attains 21 years of age.

@Sm1smom thanks for the reply.

this quote i copy from google search and i find out that 0n 23rd March 2023 USA govt allowed to apply for job while on visit or Business visa in 6 months time, and if he got the job he can transfer his visa to job visa .

See this and you can also search on google.

Highlights: B1 and B2 visa holders can now apply for Jobs and give interviews in the US​

  • People holding business or tourist visas can now apply for jobs in the US.
  • The applicants must only change their visa status before starting to work.
  • There are many actions that a nonimmigrant worker can take, after getting terminated from employment in the US.
  • The 60-day grace period can be extended after the termination of a nonimmigrant worker.

hi thanks for the reply, I know when he become 21 years old he can sponsor me but for that I have to wait 15 years which is useless to just wait for 15 years, I am looking for current options that I can get, like already have business visa and I can come in USA, but like i said i want to stay with my Son so what are the other options to stay.
could you please give ma ID for US Family based attorney so I can contact with them. are there any forum members that are dealing with US family based process for visas ?

Many thanks in advance

I don’t have the time to be googling immigration related information (or misinformation in certain cases) which is not from an official US government website.

Searching, applying, or interviewing for jobs while on a visitor’s visa is NOT the same as working in the US on a visitor’s visa. A visitor IS NOT allowed to work in the US, that policy has not changed. Your original question was if you could work in the US with your business visa, and the answer to that question is NO you’re not allowed to do that.

There’s currently no option for you to live in the US with your son outside of your wife petitioning you for a family based visa. Save whatever money you currently have - an immigration lawyer will charge you for the same information which has been freely provided here. But if you feel speaking with a family-based immigration lawyer is the only acceptable option for you at this point, you can also google it.

p.s. this forum is hosted by a reputable immigration attorney by the way.

Hello Fasi,

Thank you for sharing your situation. Here are some suggestions and answers to your questions based on the information you provided:

Visa Options Based on Your Son:
Since your son is a U.S. citizen, you may be able to apply for a family-based immigration visa, such as the IR-5 visa, which is for parents of U.S. citizens. However, since your son is only 6 years old, he cannot directly sponsor you until he turns 21. You may want to consult with an immigration lawyer for potential alternatives.

Working on a Business Visa:
The B-1 Business Visa does not permit you to work or engage in any employment while in the U.S. You cannot legally do professional or side jobs on this visa. Working on a B-1 visa would violate the terms and could result in deportation or future bans from entering the U.S.

News about Business and Tourist Visas:
The news you referred to might be about the possibility of searching for jobs while on a B-1/B-2 visa. However, even if this is allowed, you would still need to change your status to a work visa (like an H-1B) before starting any employment. It's crucial to verify this information with official sources such as the USCIS website or consult with an immigration lawyer.

Court Application on Behalf of Your Son:
Filing a court application to stay in the U.S. on behalf of your son may be complex. You might be able to argue that your presence is in the best interest of your child, but this would likely require legal representation and a strong case. Consulting with a family and immigration lawyer would be necessary to explore this option.

Given your financial situation, it might be challenging to navigate these legal processes without professional assistance. I recommend reaching out to local legal aid organizations or non-profits that offer support for immigration cases. They may provide low-cost or free legal assistance.

Best of luck, and I hope you can find a solution that allows you to be with your son.

Sincerely,
Will Smith
 
Thanks for sharing your situation. Here are my thoughts on your questions:
  1. Can I apply for another visa through my son?
    You cannot change your visa status from a Business Visa (B1/B2) while in the U.S. Your son can’t sponsor you until he’s 21, so you would need to explore other immigration options in the future.
  2. Can I work on a Business Visa?
    No, working on a Business Visa is not allowed. It’s for business-related activities only (e.g., meetings or conferences). Working or doing side jobs could lead to serious legal consequences.
  3. Is it true that Business Visa holders can apply for jobs now?
    This news is not accurate for B1/B2 visa holders. They cannot apply for jobs. It may apply to other visa categories, but not for Business or Tourist visas. Always verify such info through USCIS.
  4. Can I apply for my son to stay in the U.S.?
    You cannot file a court application for your son to stay in the U.S. based on custody alone. To stay long-term, you would need to explore family-based immigration options when your son is old enough to sponsor you.
I recommend consulting an immigration lawyer to get specific advice for your case.

Good luck!
