Hi All,

I want your take on this issue. I have a son but did not indicate on my GC application. The reason been that I did not have documentation to prove he is my son when I was applying. He was born out of wedlock before I moved to the US. I have obtained my 10 yr PR card recently. I want to file for him, but do not know if to file after I become a citizen or before? Additionally, since I did not include him in my GC application, do I have to include him when I file for citizenship and what might be the consequences?

Thanks

You didn't know about his existence when you were applying for the GC? Or is it that you knew but didn't have documentation?

Depending on all the facts, you could lose your GC for failing to mention your son during your GC process.
 
Be careful. Two word to be afraid of: Immigration Fraud. Better have your story well rehearsed without any leakages before you dare apply for him. I will not advice you to lie, however if you go and parrot what you wrote here to any USCIS officer, you're in serious danger of having your own permanent residency revoked

Cheers.
