我的情况是这样的:我已绿卡(EB2, NIW);爱人和小孩在国内。我和爱人结婚是在我获得绿卡之前,而小孩出生于我获得绿卡之后。
时间先后顺序:结婚-我绿卡-小孩出生。
想请教的问题:
1. 小孩出生日期在我获得绿卡之后,所以小孩不能办理 follow-to-join 获得绿卡? 对吗?
-Right.
2.小孩能否办理B2签证每年来美探亲?
-Yes.
新的签证政策B2探亲签证10年有效,所以理论或实际上小孩可以10年内多次往返美国?
-Yes, but your child may renew his/her B-2 status again and again until your I-130 priority date (PD) is current to file I-485 due to his/her age is too young.
3. 小孩办理绿卡的可能途径。
途径一:申请B2入境,然后境内提交I-130表。不知道小孩是否能在境内合法地等待绿卡申请的处理,不受原来 B-2 停留期的限制?
-Need to renew B-2 status (see above answer).
途径二:提交I-130表,小孩在广州获得移民签证来美(F2A类别)。请问前后大概需要多长时间?
-This is another choice. Your child can go back to China to get the immigration visa when the I-130 PD is current. His/her illegal stay in US (if any) will not affect his/her immigration visa application in China because his/her age is less than 18 years.
步骤复杂吗?
-No.
能否自己DIY,还是必须请律师办理?
-Up to you.
