Hello all.. My friends are not U.S.C, but there 2 year old is a U.S.C. The Child at this time is out of the US with the parents. How can the parents come to the US? They would like to move here to work. I don't know what to do or what to tell them... Any help on what to do?? By the way the child was born here when the mother was on visit to U.S.

Thank you!

There is nothing they can do until the child turns 18 years of age, and then the child can file for them.

correction, the child has to be 21, 18 is only for marriage. the age of a USC to petition family members is 21.

Correct. In the year 2029 the child can petition for the parents, should the child, which by then is an adult, desires to do that.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

The father's mother just informed me that she is working with the School District where she is employed to see if maybe they can hire them on as Teacher's so they can file the paper work. I just know that they are working my last nerves :bonk:... I think she need's to let the baby stay with the parents.

Thanks guys for your help!!

Well there is no shortage of Qualified Teachers in the US and most School Districts are strapped for cash so even if the disctrict agreed how would they cover the expense and explain hiring two teachers from overseas?

I was just reading the http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1323.html to see what all would have to be done by the School District. I don't know if the District would pay it or have them to pay the expense for filing. I think the mother is trying all she can to have them with her. She has cancer the beginning of stage three..

This may be a long streach trying to obtain visas regarding employment as teachers for a school. But good luck to her.

I do wish them the best myself. I just pray that she leave the child in Nigeria with her parents. My back is not healed from my surgery this week. I can't help her see after this baby when she's to sick to care for her.

Thanks
