I recently moved to the United States from Morocco, and I’m trying to understand how my children can legally stay here with me. I want to make sure they remain compliant with immigration rules while attending school and living in the U.S. Are there specific visas, dependent options, or other pathways that allow children to remain here with a parent? What steps should I take to protect their status and future opportunities?

Children may legally stay in the United States as dependents if the parent has a valid visa or a green card. It is essential to maintain their legal status to avoid future immigration problems.

If the children have their own visas, all requirements must be followed, including school enrollment and timely visa renewals. Failing to comply can negatively affect their future immigration options.
