how to petition children of a naturalized US citizen

[Dean_De 61]

Hi everyone,

I am just wondering what petition must be filed to bring a child (children) of a naturalized citizen here to the US. Are the beneficiary required to stay a certain amount of time before they can travel back again to their home country? What will their status be upon entering the US and what process do they have to go through ones they arrive..do they have to do the AOS?

Any link where I can get information will be appreciated and will be helpful..thank you!

Since a minor child of a US citizen qualifies as an immediate relative then a visa number will always be available for them.

Expect the entire process to take ~8 - 10 months until they have their immigrant visas which will automatically grant them a green card upon entry to the US; no AoS would be required.

Additionally, they may automatically become US citizens themselves upon entry to the US under the provisions of the Child Citizenship Act (2000): http://travel.state....pes_1312.html#2
