Petitioning for my Father and Step Mother

The question would appear to be whether your father and stepmother resided together in a marital relationship before you turned the age of 18 which was regarded as a marriage with all rights and privileges as in a regularly celebrated marriage in the country of residence. If so, you might be able to petition for both father and stepmother. If not, you could petition for your father first, and he would immigrate and then petition for his wife under the F-2A category for spouses of permanent residents. As visa availability is open worldwide including the Philippines for persons applying under the F-2A category, your stepmother would likely be here approximately one year after your father’s immigration (all things going well) assuming that visa availability remains the same in the future.
