Легализация ребёнка в США делается
автоматически госпиталем, только их на это
авторизовать надо. Ребёнок автоматически
американский гражданин. А вот с Россией... Только
собираюсь. Гемору там вагон и маленькая тележка.-(
Похоже, придётся в итоге перется в Вашингтон -- я
хочу ребёнку паспорт сделать. :-(
There are a couple of consequences. 1. Here the US citizenship of the child is the
basis for parents to apply for GC. When the child reaches 21, he/she can petition with
I-130 relative petition for his/her parents to apply for a GC (they are considered
immediate relatives of US citizen and can get a GC without a quota, provided the law does
not change by that time). 2. Here the US citizenship of the child is not the basis, but
might help. Regardless of age of the child, if parents apply for GC on somehow independent
basis (through employment, family, DV or any other way, not related to their child being
US citizen) and are somehow excludable (made a misrepresentation with INS, have TB, or
committed a crime, were a voluntary member of Communist Party within 5 years or some other
reasons), a hardship to their US citizen child if brought to another country by parents
can be a reason to apply for a waiver from excludability. The waiver is not given
automatically, you have to prove the fact of hardship.
