Background: We (myself and my wife) are permanent residents of USA. My wife is pregnant, and we are having the baby in another country. After child-birth, we want our child to get permanent residency in the USA.
We are told that an INS (BCIS) regulation outlines that a baby born abroad to permanent resident parents will be granted permanent resident status on entry (1) provided the baby returns with a parent on that parent's first entry following the birth and (2) provided that the entry is within two years of the birth.
Therefore, we have the following questions -
* What is the name of the INS (BCIS) regulation that outlines the above-mentioned rule for a child to get permanent residency in the US?
* Should the child be accompanied by any one of the parents? Or do both parents have to accompany the child?
* Airline officials verify proper US visa documentation before allowing an individual to commence US-bound travel. What documentation do we need to prove to the Airlines that our child does NOT require a visa to travel to the US?
Thanks,
