Not right away. Your U.S.-born child can’t sponsor you until they turn 21. In the meantime, explore options like Parole in Place or other immigration relief programs.

My child was born in the U.S., but I am undocumented. Does my child’s citizenship help me get legal status?

Sorry, got carried away for a bit. I meant to say that your child’s U.S. citizenship doesn’t automatically grant you legal status, but it may help with certain immigration processes, such as applying for a family-based visa or petition.

No Pat. It doesn’t. Not really anyway.
