Hb4156 -oklahoma
My(F22) boyfriend(M21) came here from Mexico on a tourist visa in August 2019. He was 16 when he came. We met while working together and started dating 3 months after he arrived in the US. He overstayed his visa to be with me. I got pregnant with our son in December 2020, we were broken up for about a year and a half due to some issues we were both working on internally. Our son was born in August 2021. My bf is not on the birth certificate. He’s been consistently in our son’s life since early 2022 and we’ve been back together since then. He is planning on proposing really soon. We have plans to fill out the Acknowledgment of Paternity form and turn it into DHS to get him on our son’s birth certificate. With HB4156 (and assuming Governor Stitt will sign it considering his extreme anti-immigrant rhetoric), we are concerned about what this bill passing means for our family. I’m not working right now, and we would be devastated if our family was split up. So to my questions:
Do we need to speed up this process of getting him on the BC and getting married so we can file for his green card?
We plan on adding his first last name onto our son’s last name. (So our son will have two last names, which is how it typically is in Mexico.) Will it be easier to file our son’s last name change at the same time as mine when we get married?
How soon after marriage can we file for his green card?
