You have to file an immigration petition and request that the USCIS inform a U.S. Consulate in the country of the child’s residence. You will receive ”Packet 3” from the National Visa Center, if the immigration petition is accepted. When all required documents and forms are completed, your child has to apply for an immigrant visa at the U.S. Consulate in her home country. Once approved, the child becomes a permanent resident when entering the U.S. on an immigrant visa.
