LPR applying for child under 21

[lipslikesugar 0]

Hello everyone!

I am a permanent resident. My child is back in Brazil.He was out of status in US for almost a year. He had a f1 visa but he could never attend that school (we had to move and there was no school around that would provide the I-20). I've heard that minors are forgiven for been out-of-status, that they aren't considered illegal. Is this correct?

How long it will take to have him in U.S.?I understand Vermont is now processing cases received in 2006, but I am not sure how long the NVC stays with the case.

any help?

yes, the overstay of the minor does not result in a bar.

It takes about 6 years for a child petitioned by PR parent to immigrate. If you become USC, he wouldn't have to wait in line for an immigrant visa number.

I don't know how you got GC, but wasn't he included in your petition? Does he have USC step-parent?

thank you somuch for your help.

I have a GC because my daughter is a US citizen. My 13-year-old child could not be included in my petition because of this

Do you think he can get a tourist visa? Will the embassy in Brazil know about his overstay?

He might be able to get a tourist visa but on his application they will ask him about his trip to the US and he has to be honest since I'm assuming you put the correct info on his I-130. Lying will hurt him in the end.

Also, why don't you become a US citizen yourself? That will make the process a lot faster for him and all you have to do is change status with the USCIS.

They know about his F1, and he would be required to declare past misdeeds.

Chances of a B2 is slim to nil but no harm trying, only the application fee at risk.
