Legal Question in Immigration Law in Philippines

Immigrant Petition

I'm seeking advice of my present situation. I was married to an American citizen (naturalized Filipino-American) in the country of my birth in the Philippines in 1992 and we had a son in 1994 (in the Philippines also). In 2000, my husband had applied for an immigration petition and was granted approval in 2001. It had just very recently come to my attention that my husband had filed for a divorce in 2003, which was finalized in 2004. I had never been informed, approved, nor signed any such proceedings since I was in the Philippines.

I understand our son will not have any problems processing his immigration and visa application, but I am concerned about my situation when my son is approved that visa application. As a concerned mother, I would not want to send my son to a foreign country to a father he has not met. I�m still receiving letters from the Immigration office questioning my intent with the current application for my visa. I�d like to know my options at this time and need some help from your office. Would I be able to proceed with the processing of the immigration and visa application if an affidavit of support provided by his relatives that are willing to help me?
