Can Father get GC based on 4 yrs citizen daughter

[Peter123]

Here is the story of my friend


He came to US on F1. Did masters in Comp Science. Got H1, and currently working. He got involved with an Italian American girl. He was with this female for atleast about 5 years. They never got married.

They have a daughter of about 3 1/2 yrs.

Now they broke up and my friend is paying about $ 800.00 a month as child support

So his Ex-girlfriend is born american citizen. His daughter is born american citizen. and he is on H1 and almost completed 4 + years, and he has not been able to concentrate on GC. He is mentally upset with his situation.

Question is

1)Can he get some kind of residency based on the situation that he has responsibility towards his daughter until 18. IS there any kind of Visa or can he get GC based on his situation

2) When his Visa expires, he has to go back to India, Will Judge let him go?

I believe there has to be some law that under above situation my friend can live in this country.



Your responses will be appreciated

looks like i did not make my point clear. Yes A child cannot sponsor. but what if he has to go back because his visa expires. He won't be able to pay child support from India.
