Not at all. the child can sponsor you when he or she is 21 years old. But you can pursue labor certification process through your employer.

Your US citizen child can file for you, but not until the child is 21. Until then you will need to explore other options to maintain status in the US - either employment based or otherwise.

If you have further questions please contact my office.

Not citizenship but residency is available.Your matter is complex and you should get an attorney. If you are located in Orange, San Diego or Imperial Counties, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.
