Can my 18 yr old daughter visit.

[LBecky 4]

Hello, does anyone know if my 18 year old daughter, who is currently living in England would be allowed to visit me in the US due to Covid? Not sure how the restrictions will affect that, or if anyone has had family visit from the UK recently..

I assume you are either a US citizen or LPR from your timeline and previous threads. In that case she can travel directly to the US because she is exempt to UK and Ireland proclamation as a "child, foster child, or ward of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident." If unmarried she meets INA 101(b) definition of child.

 

If she has ESTA, she should follow the tips by London embassy: https://uk.usembassy.gov/information-for-nonimmigrant-visa-applicants-following-the-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak/

If you travel, please follow the steps below:

• Do not attempt to check in for your flight online if you have an ESTA registration.
• Arrive early for your flight.
• Carry any documentation that you believe demonstrates why you have been excepted from a travel restriction, such as a Permanent Resident card (commonly known as a Green Card), a marriage certificate, or a birth certificate, so that it is available if it is requested for review.
• You may also wish to carry a copy of the Presidential Proclamation itself.
• Your status will be reviewed in consultation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials.
• If applicable in your case, your ESTA will be reinstated in order to allow you to board.Finally, please note that the U.S. Embassy cannot provide an official letter stating that you are excepted from a travel restriction.

Thank you. Yes I'm a LPR and hubby is a US Citizen, my daughter normally visits once a year but I was unsure this time due to Covid. I will certainly follow the information provided. Much appreciated.

Also send her a photoscan of your Green Card so she can print it out and carry it with her birth certificate.
