Question: I am a US citizen. My husband is not. My husband want me to petition his son who live with his mother in a another country. What do I need to do as his step mother and his mother who he live with? I’m sorry what is required of both parties? Thank You.

Answer:  If you married your husband when his child was under 18, you can petition for your stepson.  If the child is still under 18, unless your husband has complete legal and physical custody of the child, your husband must seek consent from his ex-wife before the child can receive immigrant visa.
