    Question Child Born to a LPR While Overseas

    Hi:
    We're LPRs (green card holders) and are expecting a baby. My wife wants to have the baby overseas at her mum's place (outside America).

    Will the child be eligible for a green card on arrival? Or is there some other process by which we can bring our baby back with us?

    We found a link on the National Archives website of the US Govt, which says something about it, but we'd like to hear from friends here if they have similar experiences

    You may bring the baby back with you and apply for the child's Green Card when you get home.

    So, is it like, the baby gets a green card on arrival? Or is it that we make an application based on family-immigration, and then the baby gets his/her card when his/her priority date becomes current? (We are both citizens of India, and the family-based first preference date is still in the early 2000)

    If I have read the law (link in my earlier post) correctly, then my understanding is that the baby gets green card on arrival.

    These laws confuse me most of the time! (though laws of the US are written in a very easy-to-understand language ... you should see the complicated laws of India, mostly written by our colonial rulers!)
