    Default Can You File an I-130 for Your Child if You Were't Married to Her Mother

    Can you file an I-130 for a child who was born during a relationship that you had in another nation, even if you were never married to her mother?

    Default Re: Can You File an I-130 for Your Child if You Were't Married to Her Mother

    As long as she is your child and is under the age of 21, you can file for her to get permanent residency. If she enters the United States before she reaches the age of 18, pursuant to the Child Citizenship Act of 2000, she would likely derive citizenship from you as long as you have shared legal custody with her mother. If that law does not apply, she may continue to be permanent resident until she becomes eligible to file for naturalization on her own.
