Hello, I am a UK Citizen who has separated from his US Citizen spouse under good terms, and she has since moved back to the USA with our two year old daughter. We will soon be divorced. I was wondering if there are any visas or special circumstances that are available to foreign parents of US children under the age of 21? I would love to be able to live and work where she lives, the thought of having to wait 19 years to be close to her again is pretty hard to take at the moment! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lee.

What status did you have before? Green card?

You can look into a work visa (employer sponsored), student visa. Other than this, there is no option for you to stay for 19 yrs in the US. Why can't you have your daughter with you in the UK - custody issues?

The way I understand it, you and your USC spouse lived in the U.K., never intended to work in the US and thus never did anything in regard to US immigration. If so, then there is no visa available that would help you in any way, shape or form, unless you are a recognized genius or world-famous artist. You missed that boat. Once your child turns 21, he or she can petition for you, if he or she desires that. Better keep the expensive gifts going until at least 2030.

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.

You have the same opportunities to emigrate to the US as anyone else has. The two most common are work and family, whether you qualify for any or could qualify for any I do not know.

Presumably your daughter has dual citizenship, too late now but the mistake was agreeing for your daughter to be removed from the UK.
