Is it possible for U.S citizenship for my ex husband?

I'm in a tough situation, I'm going through a divorce with a man who is from Europe, we have one small child who is crazy about him, I am a U.S citizen and live in CA. I would love for him to come live here so our child can see him more and he can help me out with child raising. But is there anyway he can come live/work here without us being married? I really want my divorce, the marriage was very traumatizing for me, I can't imagine being married to him for another 4 years (I think for citizenship). I would also like to move on with my life. Can he come here if he has a child who is a U.S citizen? Thanks

Answer:
The only way you can sponsor him to come to the US is if you are married, your child can not sponsor him until s/he is an adult. However you could sponsor him for now so he can get a green card. Once he has his green card you could get divorced. You do not have to stay married until he is a citizen or until he has his permanent residency (after 2 years, the first 2 years are conditional. The divorce is only a problem if theINS can show that you got married just so he could come to the US, since you ahve been married already for 4 years and he is not even in the country yet that was obviously not the case.
Go to the INS website or to the local office to get the form you need to file for permanent residency. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis...
if he does the paper work he can do what he wants.
The simple answer is no he would not be able to. You are going through divorce proceedings and as you say you don't want to live with this man, so apart from being the child's natural father he has no reason to be in the USA. You could apply and give the facts to an immigration judge who will make a decision but it is highly unlikely he would be granted a visa. Does not hurt trying though. You can imagine the number of women who go through exactly the same thing and unfortunately the partners do not get to live in the USA, but as I said it's worth giving it a go. Contact the immigration people in the US and put your case to them see what they say.
I had similar situation with my ex-husband who is a US citizen. We divorced while I had a 2-years green card and I obtained my 10-years green card and later applied for naturalization without his help but completely on my own.

If your spouse has a green card you do not have to wait to divorce him. However if he has a child in the US he can also get a visitor's visa, just make sure he won't try to leave the country with your baby.
I guess he could just come for really long vacations then when his visa is up go back renew it and come on another long vacation to America.
Don't torture yourself just because your child loves his father. You may meet a wonderful guy who will love and cherish both of you and your child.

And I do not think your soon-to-be-ex-husband can legally buy any property in the US if he does not have a green card.
