Having an American baby and need a green card

Can an illegal immigrant who has had an American baby get a green card?

Generally speaking, they will not be able to get a green card until the child reaches the age of 21 and can file an 1-130 for their parent. Needles to say, this is one of the longest ways to get a green card.

Waiting for your baby to be 21 years old so you can get your permanent resident alien visa ("green card") is hardly worth it. But, believe it or not, that's the only hope to get a visa for millions of illegal immigrants right now other than marriage to an American citizen.
