Q: Who would be best petitioning my 12 year old son to come here from england my American wife or me I am a permanent resid
I am a permanent resident from England and would like my 12 year old son to come live here my wife is an American citizen and we would like to know who would be best doing the petition to get him here the quickest way.
A: Definitely, your U. S. Citizen wife. Your son may be forced to wait many years, since your petition will be subject to a quota. She should file as soon as possible, since processing can take over a year through both USCIS and the State Department's National Visa Center. You should also consider hiring a competent and experienced immigration attorney. Good luck.
