Madison, FL Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

The law does not provide for a parent to stay and obtain a work permit on the basis that there is a 2-year-old U. S. citizen child. If there is something seriously wrong with the child medically and the problem cannot be taking care of in Egypt, U.S.C.I.S. may entertain allowing a parent extensions of stay or even perhaps deferred action on removal if the circumstances warrant such action.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

You can sponsor but if your daughter is over 21 or she is married then there is a two-step procedure and you can only file the first step now and then wait for a visa to be available. Unless your daughter can change to another nonimmigrant classification for which she is eligible she will need to return overseas to await her visa. If you would like to consult on their cases, schedule an appointment with my office. We do charge for consultations but whatever is paid for the consultation would then be a credit toward the fees for her case if we are retained to do work after the consult.

An employer can sponsor someone for immigration status, but the process is expensive and can take many years because the employment based immigrant based visas are backed up. If your employer wants to discuss the process, they should schedule an appointment.
