I am here now in the UK with my husband. We want to petition my 7 year old son from Manila, I was not married to my son's father, so my son has my surname. Can I petition him just like what my husband did with me? He just send me bank statements, letter from employer, marriage contract, lease agreement, passport, my husband's visa (he is from Manila on 5 yr work permit). Anything else needed to petition my son? I am not working yet. So all the papers will be his, except the bank statement which are now joint
I gather from your post that both you and your husband are both Filipinos? I also gather that your husband is not actually your sons father. What is your particular visa status in the UK?

Depending on your visa status you should be able to bring your son over as a dependent.
