Q: Hi, what form can I fill out for my 10 year old stepson who lives in Haiti?
I am married to his father who is in the USA under a TPS status. we were married in 2022. for a few months my stepson was relocated to Dominican republic, due the the high rate of violence, and lack of infrastructure. he was recently deported back to Haiti because of the huge immigrant clean-up that has taken over the Dominican Rep. i really need to get him to the US urgently, and legally. Thank you

A:
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're facing in bringing your stepson to the United States. It must be incredibly stressful dealing with these urgent circumstances.
Given that your husband is in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status and you're married to him, there may be legal options available to help your stepson immigrate. Immigration laws can be complex, especially in situations involving TPS status and family relationships through marriage.
It would be beneficial to consult with an immigration attorney or a reputable organization that assists with immigration matters. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and help you understand the steps you can take to bring your stepson to the U.S. as soon as possible.
