He was 18 when my husband and I got married, my husband is a US citizen. the problem is my son is mentally disabled and also hard of hearing. he has a mental age of 14 years and cannot take care of himself. I did appeal the decision of the greencard but now have to submit a brief and on what legal reason can i appeal this. I am sure the usa will not seperate a mother and disabled child

You need a qualified immigration attorney, not merely an appeals lawyer.

You may search for a local lawyer at www.ailalawyers.org (if you are looking for a licensed immigration lawyer locally).

I'm sorry to hear that your son's application for permanent residency was denied, however, if he was over 18 at the time of your marriage to a US citizen husband/his step-father, unfortunately, he is not eligible to be petitioned by his step-father.

If you are a lawful permanent resident, you can petition for your son. It will be at least several years until his priority date will become current.
