Best Answer

Your spouse, as a US citizen, will need to file form I-130 (USCIS) for his stepson. It explicitly states that the marriage must happen before your son's 18th birthday in order to use this form. Otherwise, your son will need to wait until you are a citizen (at least 3 years) before you can petition for him.
