Curious

  This was brought up awhile ago in the family. My husband's grandad is a permanent resident and his daughter from the UK was wondering how long it'd be if he sponsors her over? I told them it'd be a 7 or more years of waiting. She is over 21 but also has a daughter out of wedlock. SHe is not  married and the child is under 21. Is it even possible for the grandad to sponsor both of them?

 

I don't think it'd happen but we'd just want to know.

 

Thanks!

A grandparent can’t sponsor a grandchild. Unless I misinterpreted your post and it’s the granddad’s daughter? Then yes he can sponsor her. As you say at least 7 years and as long as the father is a permanent resident she needs to remain unmarried.

I didn't think so. So he would have to sponsor his daughter first and then the mom would have to sponsor her child after? The child can't be a dereverative on the application?

I edited my original answer because I thought I’d misinterpreted your original post, apparently I did, I found it confusing the way you worded it

Gotcha! Sorry about that. I was thinking faster than I was typing. 

So his grandad can sponsor his daughter + her child at the same time?

hi

 

he could but it would depend on her age. he would file for her daughter and her child would come as her derivative, as long as she is unmarried and under 21

Ah, perfect. The daughter is 27 and the child is 9. Seems like it could work, if the category is still around. Thanks so much!

Yes

she would need to remain unmarried as long as her father is only a LPR or the petition would fall away
