Immigration lawyer at Quan Law Group, PLLC
Assuming that he is a minor, you should be able to file an I-130 to begin the process for consular processing.

What happens if the F1 and H1B concurrent filing?

Your "problem" may not exist anymore. H-1 quotas for 2013 have been exhausted and your employer will have to wait until April 1, 2013 to file H1 for you. If you can file H-1, you would not have any problem as H-1 is processed in the US and F-1 at the US consulate. You may have two types of visa but your immigration status is determined by I-94 at the time of your admission. If you enter the US using H-1 visa, you are H-1 status in the US; If you enter with an F-1 visa, you will be in F-1 status and you cannot work for the employer if you are in the US in F-1 status.

Is it necessary to change my stepson's name into his mother's name first before petitioning him as a stepchild?

Kevin L. Dixler
Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
This may create complications, since the USCIS may think that he is already a U.S. Citizen through derivative status, which is a misrepresentation, if suggested by USCIS. As a result, actions may have to be taken to correct the birth certificate where it wrongly indicates that you are the father. If the natural father shares the same last name as you, then this is easily explained. Your step son needed to be under 18 years old at the time of your marriage to his mother. Otherwise, you cannot petition him. If he reaches 21 years old, before final processing, among other concerns, then these additional unknown facts can create complications in the future. As a result I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney. The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
