Want to bring the USC child back to the USA

[Nahathai_Ike 0]

A single mom asked me the question and I would like to know whether it is possible to bring the child back to the US.

A child was born in Houston, Texas 10 years ago. He has the US passport. However, his mom and dad went back to Thailand after they completed their education. The child has a dual citizenship.

Approximately five years ago, the parents decided to get the divorce. The mother had a sole custody for the son. Due to the situation in Thailand, she would like to come back to the US and live over here with her US Citizen's son.

She does not have any relatives but she would like to start something new here in Houston, Texas.

Questions:

1. Can she apply for any type of immigrant visa to allow her to come and live in the US with her son?

2. Does she need anyone to petition her to come to the US? Since the child is still a minor, he cannot act or make any contract.

3. What are the different between her situation and the situation of the person who won the Diversity's lottery visa? Since the winner might not know or have any relatives living in the US at all. They can travel to create their new lives over here.

Thank you for your time.

No. Once he is 21 he can petition to have her move to the USA. Until then the mother cannot, based on the child's citizenship to the USA, move to the USA. The child can, but the mother cannot.

When the son is 21, he can return to the US and petition for his mother. He will need a source of income or someone else to sponsor the mother. The son probably should travel to the US early as possible to establish himself.

What kind of visa did she have when she had the child in Texas ten years ago? Has her GC expired? Did she never file for citizenship when she was in Texas?

I believe that both parents were here on the student visa, F1. She said that she was a graduate student when she delivered the child. Both were non-resident. They entered and departed the US legally,
