Waiting Until Your Parent Becomes a U.S. Citizen- Is This a Good Overstayed Visa Solution?
A U.S. citizen or green card holder parent can petition for their child to get a green card while in the U.S. on an overstayed visa. The key factors include the child’s age (must be under 21), marital status (specifically unmarried), and lawful status despite overstaying a visa, which may require an I-601 waiver and embassy application.
