Immigration to USA (But ...)

[majedalanni 1]

Dear Sir

My name Susan Khalid ,I am a US citizen live whole my life in IRAQ . I got my citizenship by born in Colorado in 1977 and I stay in USA just only two months and then back to IRAQ and stay in it till know and I had new passport type P valid to 2015 I renew it from US embassy in Jordan.

This is my story:

I married in 23-Dec-2004 and I had one child (both my husband and daughter are IRAQI citizen).

The terrorist try to kill my husband because they know he is married a (US citizen) So I escape from Baghdad to Sulymainia north of IRAQ but I leave every thinkg in Baghdad (my house, my car).

I decide to travel to USA with my family ( My husband and My daughter),

but I see it must need a sponsor and I must fill the I-864 form!!!

But I'm not meet the minimum requirement of I-864 and I don't know any one in USA to be a joint sponsor or I can't go to USA without my daughter because her age is one year and half so she need alot of care.

So I need a way to travel to USA and live in peace and safe with my family? (Please I dont need link to web sites because I read them all , I need advise)

Please Your fast response are appreciated.

Regards

Is your daughter a US Citizen?

She should be if she is your biological daughter.

Is your daughter a US Citizen?

She should be if she is your biological daughter.

Unfortunately, the daughter is not automatically a US citizen in this case. The OP would have had to have lived in the US for at least 5 years and for two of those years to be after she was 14.

I don not want to endanger your life. Forget about immigration.

But as a US Citizen, you need to seek protection for you and your family. Contact the US Army and see if they can arrange safe passage for you and your family to the embassy in Bahgdad or to a third country. Go to the nearest US Consulate and see if they can provide safe passage for you and you family to the US as a citizen and political saylees for your family as your lives are in danget and you cannot return to your home.

Be careful!!! I understand that the Northern area (kurd country) is quite safe.

The Daughter is not automatically an American Citizen, as Margot mentioned, however technically she is as long as you apply for her permanent residency first and she then enters the U.S. (or lives in the U.S.) as an intending immigrant (this all has to be done while she is still under 21). Once that is complete you can apply for her U.S. passport. Check out the child citizenship act of 2000 for details.

The child must meet the following requirements:

* Have at least one American citizen parent by birth or naturalization;

* Be under 18 years of age;

* Live in the legal and physical custody of the American citizen parent; and

* Be admitted as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence.

Sorry I meant to say in my message "(this all has to be done while she is still under 18) - not '21'.

You can sponsor both of them.

If you do not have the income or assets you can use a co-sponsor.

Probably best solution is for you to move to the US, get a job, so you can be the sponsorer.

Or find a relation/friend who is a USC or LPR wo an act as co-sponsor.

Hi Susan,

Sorry for not responding sooner, just saw your reply now. I will answer what I can

If I apply for permanent residency for my child do I need to fill I-864 ? and how I do it?

Yes, you would start with the I-130 petition. Please check the visa journey guides for applying for your child here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?autocom=custom&page=childpet - just choose "I am the Mother" from the list provided. Also check the guides for filing the I-130 petition for your Husband.

Can you explian and where I apply a political saylees for my family ?

I don't know much about Asylum. You can find additional information here though:

USCIS - What is Asylum

There is also a bit of information here: Human Rights First

and these all ways I can get to enter USA ?

I think you should perhaps look at what DesertFox suggested. In order for you and your family to proceed with the 'regular' immigration route, you will need to act as a sponsor for them. As you do not have earnings for this, you either need to prove you have assets that equal at least U.S. $64,386 (house, second car, money) to support them or you need a co-sponsor - there is no way around this.

Good luck, sorry to hear things are so bad for you and your family.
