My daughters boyfriend (17) entered the country on a vistor visa when he was 6. His father is a naturalized citizen. How would the father obtain citizenship for the son.

You'll want to start this process soon before the son ages out. Otherwise, it is a simple process of filing an I-130/I-485 with supporting documentation. Contact me directly if you'd like further assistance.

He may already be a citizenship under the Child Citizenship Act. I am making the assumption that he is living with his father now (and has been). When you speak to an attorney make sure they are familiar with this Act. If it is not applicable to your daughter's boyfriend then the alternative is to file for Adjustment of Status for him. Feel free to call my office if you want to go through a complete consultation. We can walk you through all the necessary steps and see if there will be any red flags to be concerned about.

His father can file a petition for an alien relative for his son to adjust his status. I think it should be relatively simple. If you would like any further assistance, please feel free to contact me. Best, Tahmina

Find proof that the son entered the U.S. with a visa or was otherwise inspected. BEFORE the son is 21, U.S. citizen father must file both the I-130 and the I-485 with the fees. The son and his father should begin this process with an immigration attorney BEFORE the son becomes 21. Glen
