Option 1: Since you have physically met him, you can file a FIANCE VISA Petition. You will have to prove that the two of you intend to marry and that you have physically met during the past 2 years. This takes quite a bit of time (about 12 months). Once he is approved, he will enter the country and you will have 90 days to marry. As soon as you marry, you must file a petition for him to receive a green card. \nOption 2: If you have a good faith relationship, you can marry him in Jamaica. Then you file a petition for a K visa. About 12 months later, he will enter the US with a K visa. Then, he needs to apply for a green card. GOOD LUCK!

Yes youu can as your father is a citizen you should have no probs.

By being adopted, your step dad is legally your father. Every child get the citizenship of their parents unless your parents explicitly ask for something else (here, rules on where you were born apply - if this is so, which I doubt, you may of course seek to change it). You are, by UK and international law, therefore entitled to British citizenship. However you need to apply, and the adoption papers are here the focal evidence for your rightful citizenship.\n\nOn the other hand, have you ever lived in the UK? Some, if not most, countries have rules saying that people who have never lived in their country until the age of 18 or 20 or 22, must apply specifically to retain their citizenship. If you, your Ghanian (?) mother and your British (step) father resides in Ghana, you may face some problems. If so, you may wish to consult an immigration solicitor or charity in the UK ...

You would have to check with US embassy. Good luck

You are entitled to US citizenship if he was naturalized before you were born.  Otherwise, you could have gotten a US immigrant visa if he petitioned for you, but the petition would have been automatically invalidated by his death.\n\nSorry.

You shoud be able to apply for citizinship as long as he's under 16.  I was born in Canada and my parents were both landed immegrants  they are from the US originally.  Try contacting the local US consolate they will have more info, but you should be able to do that.  I remember it being alot of paperwork, but it's worth it.

What you can do is contact the Jamaican Tourism Board. They should have all the information on how to get married in jamaica. Another thing you can do is get married at at a resort like Sandals where they take care of everything and can help with getting the marriage license and so on.

no, b/c your child is now an american citizen and is entitled to all the services an american citizen can receive.

i would say no....if you want child support, come here and apply for citizenship....and then eventually you can pay taxes to help give back to the country.

The child's father is obligated, I recently got back into touch with my older son and his mother has told me she has not recieved any money, thouu I have been paying through the nose, can't get any kind of license(hunting, fishing, business, et c.), I cannot get a passport and have been screwed constantly. If you have been on state assistance, he is paying that. If not, you need to report to DSHS and let them know you are not getting help. Also whoever adopts your son gets total responsibilty! Will be responsible for thee child financially for the rest of his natural life, think hard about this. Further more, quit yer bitchin'! I have never once heard of a man say he's not getting child support. You panty droppers wanted equality, fcuken take it! You created that child, you chose the man, you either take the responsibilty or give him to his father, you CANNOT have it both ways!

Nope. Especially if he is El Salvador. Salvadorean laws do not allow cross border funds transfer from El Salvador to the US.\nPlus and more imporantly, if he is El Salvador, how do you expect for im to pay child support ???? He obviously travelled and entered the US illegaly to get a job...

Best thing to do is go to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website http://uscis.gov and take a look at your options. Your door of opportunity is closing however, so act fast...(taken from uscis) Eligibility\n\nTo be eligible to sponsor a relative to immigrate to the United States you must meet the following criteria:\n\nYou must be a citizen or a lawful permanent resident of the United States and be able to provide documentation proving your status.\n\nYou must prove that you can support your relative at 125% above the mandated poverty line. Click here to find out more information about meeting this criteria and filing the Affidavit of Support. \n\nIf you are a US Citizen you may petition for the following foreign national relatives to immigrate to the United States; however you must be able to provide proof of the relationships:\n\nHusband or wife; \nUnmarried child under 21 years old; \nUnmarried son or daughter over 21; \nMarried son or daughter of any age; \nBrother or sister, if you are at least 21 years old; or \nParent, if you are at least 21 years old.

You are American?\n\n      You can claim citizenship for your child born in another country.\n\n      Our first child was born in Germany. Contact the nearest American consulate.\n\n      If you are married to the mother, you can apply to the immigration service for a visa, which is the first step toward citizenship.\n\n      I'm simplifying.\n\n      Go to immigrationservice.gov,( or whatever it is), for details

Are you in the military?  If so your dependent would be listed on your orders.\n\nIf not, a birth certficate should list you as the parent.  If the father was also on the birth certificate you may have more of a problem.  If you have not been to court to establish custody, they may view you as kidnapping your child.  \n\nWould need more detail to say for sure but if the father is on the Birth Certificate you may have to file court documents for custody or maybe a notarized letter may work???  Check with the US Embassy in Kuwait.\n\nAs for a document saying you've never been married, not sure there is such a thing.  Just because you have not been married in one state does not mean you weren't marrried in another.  You would need proof from all 50 states saying you haven't been married???

if he is at the age of stuyding he can apply to a school and get a student visa. then when he comes he starts to work at the same time. of if you are from usa he can apply for a green card. oooooooor you can marry him. so he will become the citizen of your country.

He would never be a citizen in another country if he would not apply for it and he should go to and inquire at the US Embassy in his country, I dont think his father could  give him the visa, only the authorities of US Embassy Consulate could process or even would be denied if his father wont support all the documents. goodluck, if his father is a citizen, its a good start,
