Girlfriend visa

I don't know if I'm overthinking this situation....my son, 30, was living with me. Basically he started seeing a woman, 43ish, who is here on a working visa. She has a 17 year old son she wants to bring to this country. They have only been seeing each other for 3 or 4 weeks but in that time, she spent a lot of her free time at my house and was sleeping here as well. I said I needed a break from her being here and they agreed but then he brought her around the next evening. She left in a huff after I had words with him. The next night, he slipped her into the house while I was asleep. I found out in the morning when I was woken up. I said she cant come here anymore. My son is moving out to a neighbour's house, paying rent.
I dont know what she sees in my son. He hasn't got a job, he hasn't got a house. She says she wants to bring her son over. I cant help wondering how being with him is helping her get a visa for her son. I wondered if she had intentions of moving into my house. I dont know if im being paranoid. Any thoughts? I hope this all makes sense!!

So no not really on everything you have guessed at. She doesn’t just get a passport if they are married. She would need a fiancé visa, then would have to apply once they are married for leave to remain, then indefinite leave to remain then citizenship followed by a passport and then she could sponsor her son. It’s a long expensive process where he has to prove he could financially support her for two years (if she wasn’t working and sponsored) . She is working and sponsored so she doesn’t actually need him for anything ……

Thank you. Thats all I wanted to know.
