Son born in US, Do parents get any benefit to come back to States?

[cutexing21]

Hi,

We were staying in US couple of years back and our son was born there and unfortunately as I lost my job we had to move back to India.

My son holds a US passport. My question is:

Can we come back to US on our son's basis?

Is there any provision in the law for this?

I have a friend who has a handicapped son. He has contacted lawyer who is procesing his case on the basis of his son. He has assured that since his son is challenged, he can apply for a visa under humanity grounds. He has also assured that they will get green card and eventually a US passport. Is that really true?

Insights would be really helpful on both the above cases. Mine and my friends case.

Regards

Nisha

No.

Having a US citizen child does not give you any immigration benefits, until the child is 21.

A US citizen 21 or older can sponsor a GC for his or her parents.

thats not entirely true..he may or may not get GC based on his son's disability...sorry state of affairs that people take advantage of this situation.

Humanitarian parole is pretty rare, and the US citizen child would have to be in a really bad situation. Handicapped alone is unlikely to get humanitarian parole.

and for your story...your son can only sponsor your when hes 18.

That's 21.
