A US citizen child who is over 21 years of age and domiciled in the USA can petition for his parent. A child under 21 can't petition for his parent.

This is not a process of applying for "citizenship", but applying for "permanent residency".

Hi,

Your child must be 21 years or over in order for him to sponsor you so that you obtain permanent resident status. When you have been a permanent resident for 5 years, you can apply for citizenship. Information about family sponsorship categories is here: www.h1b1.com/sponsor.htm
