A non Us-citizen gave birth of her child on Us-Soil, so the child is a US- citizen, but only a baby & his mother wants to raise him on Us-soil and into school,to raise him and stay with him until he reach legal age, How can she stay with Him? is there a residence permit she can renew each year?

Re: Born child
No there is no such permit on such basis and given the birth of U.S. citizen child now, securing a "temporary" visa is more difficult. A permanent one would be necessary on a basis other than the child. Baby could only petition when 21 years old.

Re: Born child
A US citizen child can only petition for a parent after the age of 21. Until then, his mother would need either an employment or family based visa.
Re: Born child
Need to apply for visa, what country is parent from?
Re: Born child
Dear Inquirer:
The birth of the child in the US does not automatically accord the mother any legal status in the US. The mother would have to find another way to be petitioned for her legal status in the US, such as through a family member or employer.
