Question:
Both my wife and I are U.S. Permanent Resident. My baby son was
recently born in my home country, not in U.S. Now, my wife wants to
bring my son to U.S. Could you please let me know how can we bring our
son into United States? and does he need a visa to get into U.S.?
Answer:
A baby becomes a U.S. citizen automatically if he or she was born in
the U.S. A child born abroad of permanent resident parents may enter
the U.S. without a visa, provided the child is accompanied by a parent
upon that parent’s initial return to the U.S. within two
years of
the child’s birth, with documentation showing the
parent-child
relationship.
If the permanent resident parents leave the child abroad with
family members and return to the U.S. without the child, the child must
have an immigrant visa to enter U.S.
