If the child's parent is a USC, why is the child on a visa?  Was the USC born in the US or obtained citizenship?

File I-130 and I-485 concurrently for the child to adjust status. You can also file I-751 and I-131 at the same time.

If the child is still under 18 when adjustment is approved, then they will automatically gain citizenship.

No I-751 that's Removal of Conditions. They need to file:

1. I-130
2. I-485
3. I-765
4. I-864
5. I-131 (optional)

Thanks.  She is 15, but I will file the 765 anyway.  Also, being that she is a child of USC, I believe I can do the 864W.  Can someone confirm if I need a full I-864.  

 

I did the I-130 online and will file the receipt with the 485.  Should the package still go to the Chicago lockbox?

 

I'm sorry if my questions sound basic, but its been so long since I've done this.

Yes you can use the I-864W. The I-765 is just so she can get the Social security # so as EAD card arrives since the approval of the I-485 can take some time. Just nice to have that sooner rather than later.

Here's the addresses of where to file according to where you live.

Also file I-131. You never know when you need it.

 

For now, I-765 and I-131 are free with I-485.

The father became naturalized and is now a USC attempting to petition for his daughter.  This is what I'm asking for assistance with. I was confused with your question because this is what we are trying to do.
