I live in Georgia (country). My son is the citizen of the US who was born out of wedlock to a US citizen father. He is 13 years old and lives with me. I am the citizen of Georgia and I have never been to America. Can my son take me lawfully to the US? How can I get permission to enter the US?

I do not understand your question fully. Your son is not old enough to petition for you to receive immigration benefits. However, you may be able to apply for a tourist visa at the U.S. Embassy/Consulate if you wish to visit the United States. It may be difficult for you to receive a non-immigrant visa due to your son’s status as well as other factors as the U.S. Embassy/Consulate may believe you will not return to Georgia. You should be prepared to take proof that you have ties to Georgia with you. Otherwise, your son could petition for you to receive immigration benefits once he turns 21 if he has proof of U.S. citizenship.
