Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

My Son's ( 17yrs old) i-130 was approved last year but visa transfer declined due to being out of Status (He's in the U.S) i received my Citizenship a few weeks ago. Do i process with the Visa Office. There fees are $318 and they said they would send my info back to immigration office to arrange an Interview and would be doing a I-45 or do i do a N-600 with Immigration directly? My son has not seen his Mother in 3 years and i want him to go in June during the summer break. I need the fastest route that will give him some form of legal papers so he can leave the country.

If your son is out of status and still in the United States, he could be subject to the 3/10 year bar to admissibility if he departs the country now.

If you are a U.S. citizen, then your son would be considered an immediate relative & can file for his greencard right now. He should therefore not leave the U.S. & he should file his I-485 package immediately. He can visit his mother once he becomes a U.S. Legal Permanent Resident.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. Good luck!
