After you bring her and her/ your new son here...then what?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Robertt S:
You can apply for his visa after he graduates high school as long as you and his mother marry before his 18th birthday, you just need to allow enough time for the process to be completed before his 21st birthday. He needs to be IN the United States BEFORE his 21st birthday! Good Luck and Best Wishes for you and your new family

David E:

I dont know the rules about dependent children as far as USA goes, but here in Aus, as long as the child is in full time education and does not have a job, and relies 100% on parental financial support, then he will qualify as a dependant.

I am sure that Robert S would have an answer at his fingertips and will chime in with the official USA perspective!!!

Ps...See !!, I told you Robert would come good...he just beat my post by 10 seconds....good service yes ?? !!!

Well... it seems the jury is in! Common sense needs to prevail here. I guess I need to plant that seed soon, show her your comments, and suggest she asks her family for their opinions as well. By the end of high school he may have his own ideas too. We all know how a girlfriend can effect things possibly too.

Thank you all for the support here!

Chris

fivetrout:
As it turns out...she assures me he will be finished with high school by that time. And thinks a junior college is a good idea.

Willy The Londoner:
It may not be too much of a problem.

As an Englishman sitting on the sidelines looking in on this one and from my experience on here in past four years it seems like it takes around two years on average to get a wife into USA on an immigrants visa.

So a good part of his schooling will be finished by then.
