More Information

What are the government fees to apply for a Green Card for children?

For most cases the government fee associated with form I-130 is $535

Family-based Green Card for Child

A permanent resident card (Green Card) permits you to live in the U.S. as a permanent resident.
Relatives of U.S. citizens, including their children, usually receive Green Cards quickest.
Foreign children of Green Card holders can also apply for their own Green Cards. For most
children, their journey to permanent residence in the U.S. begins when a parent files a petition
with the USCIS. You file Form I-130, Sponsor Family for a Green Card.

Who can file Form I-130?

Parents who can file Form I-130 include adoptive parents and stepparents, with USCIS requiring
the submittal of different document types to show each relationship. USCIS document requirements
also depend upon whether it is the natural mother or the father who petitions, as well as
whether a petitioning father was married to the child’s mother when the child was born, and if
not, whether the father officially recognized the relationship with the child prior to the
child’s 18th birthday.

What are the requirements for a child’s immigration?

If your child is not married, younger than 21 and has permission from USCIS to be temporarily
inside the U.S., then they can file Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or
Adjust Status along with your Form I-130. Form I-485 is the application for a Green Card. Filing
immigration petitions and applications together is called “concurrent filing.” The children of
citizens can do this because visas are always available for the immediate relatives of U.S.
citizens.

If your child lives outside the U.S. when their Form I-130 is approved, then the National Visa
Center (NVC) will send the child’s local U.S. consulate or embassy your immigration petition and
your child’s visa number. This process is called “consular processing.” The local agency will
advise your child to visit the agency to complete consular processing.

How do other categories of children apply for permanent residency?

“Other children” include the married children and children older than 21 of U.S. citizens, along
with Green Card holders’ children of any age or marital status. Most of these children may apply
to immigrate after the USCIS approves their parent’s Form I-130 petition. There may be a wait
for a visa number because the U.S. limits the number of visas given to children in these
categories each year.

However, children named on their parent’s Green Card approval notice may be eligible to receive a
Green Card after the parent properly files with the child’s local U.S. embassy or consulate Form
I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition. This notifies the
consulate that the USCIS recently admitted you to the U.S. as a permanent resident on an
immigrant visa, and your children will “accompany” or “follow to join.”

What happens after my child receives a visa number?

If your child is inside the U.S. with temporary permission from the USCIS at the time that they
receive a visa number, they will then file the Form I-485 Green Card application. If your child
is outside of the U.S. at the time that they receive a visa number, the NVC will send your
petition and your child’s visa number to your child’s local U.S. consulate or embassy, which
will advise your child to come in to complete visa processing.

How long does it take for a child to immigrate to the U.S.?

If a child is listed on a parent’s Green Card application, immigration occurs at the same time.
However, children immigrating after their parent has come to the U.S. may have to wait for a
time before they can enter the country. It may take six months or more for a child’s I-130
application to be approved by the USCIS.
