    You will need to qualify for a visa yourself; you cannot obtain immigration benefits from your US citizen child until she is an adult. So if you want to live and work in the US, you'll need to obtain either a work visa or have a family member sponsor you.

    Boyfriends don't count.

    To move (become a long-term or legal permanent resident, not just a visitor) to the United States, you will need a visa that allows residency - either an immigrant visa or a long-term employment visa such as the H1B visa. What visa do you believe you are qualified to obtain?

    I don't think employment Visa would work well with me as I believe I have to already have found a job and this's not the case,as a matter of fact,I would like to join College/University after settling there.The other option according to you is Immigrant Visa-Which one specifically?

    Okay, let's ask this another way.

    What is the status of the relative who is eager to sponsor you? Is s/he a US citizen? Permanent resident? What is the nature of your relationship?

    For you immigrate through an immediate relative who is a U.S. citizen, the relative must be a spouse, your parent if you are under 21 and unmarried, or your adult (> 21 year old) child.

    If you want to try to get a student visa, that would allow you to remain in the U.S. during your studies - but not to become a permanent resident.
