What is the name of your state? texas
i am a green card holder married to a US citizen for past 7 years. i have a 15 year old son from a previous marriage in australia. his mum has given permission for him to come live with me. my questions are:
1. obviously he wants to be here as soon as possible and we want him here asap. Is it legal/perfectly ok to fly him to texas from sydney using the visa waiver program active between the two countries, and then have my wife put the paperwork (I-130?) for him. This way he can be here quicker while the paperwork is processing
2. if 1 is legal, will he be able to go to school while this is processing?
3. if we have to file the I-130 before he is in the country, how long are the processing times, when i look on the Texas Service Center website i dont see a catagory for I-130 thats fits our situation.
Basically we want him here just as fast as we can, but i want everything to be legal etc.
