However, a potential green card may be enticing to the mother so she may be willing to sign the child over.  Which is really sad.  

Potential green card how?

That's what I was assuming.  The child will stay with the paternal aunt while the petition is processing.  The father is also prepared to travel back and forth as necessary once he has his green card in hand.  

Sounds good.  Note that the stamped visa page is a temporary green card.  He does not have to wait for the physical green card to come and go from the USA.

Thank you for your assistance.  We are fully prepared for this to be a complicated and drawn out process, but we know it's best for the child.

If the child's CR2 visa is approved, he stands to receive a green card, which the mom will view as a benefit for herself.  

That would not happen for years and years.  At least 25+ years from now.

US Citizen child can petition for parent at age 18.  He's 5 now, so about 13 years.

Ah, right.   Somehow I was adding the time it will take for the kid to become a USC.

 

I did think it was 21 though, not 18.

Not until the child is 21 years old.

Citizenship is optional for the kid's Dad, but the kid would become a citizen through his Dad the day his Dad does.  Given an 18 month process, the kid might wait as little as 18 months.  Anyway, irrelevant as the 18th birthday is the key.

You’re sure it’s 18, not 21?
