Default re: Family based greencard - Im currently on H1 visa

I wish to inform you that you cannot file for Family based Green Card based upon minor child because you can only be considered if you are an immediate relative of a US Citizen of the child of the age of over 21. However, you can apply under spouse of a permanent resident under family member of a permanent resident in a preference category. Therefore, you may not be eligible through child but being a spouse of a Green Card holder you can apply.

Not possible through minor child. Hence your in H1-B visa ask employer to sponsor for Green Card.
