no you will not just because you have had a child in America does not make you a united states citizen you will still be on a green card because you were not born in the united states obviously that's why you have a green card and your child is a united states citizen because he/she was born here in the united states and it would be the same for you if you were you born here legally and if your child was born where ever you are from your child would need a green card also and you might want to check with your local court house to see what they say

Having a child with and/or marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically confer citizenship to a foreign national. The person must apply under the prescribed procedure designated by the U.S. Immigration laws.

No. but the new born child becomes US citizenship by birth.

Certainly, a non-permanent resident parent of a child born in the US is not immediately eligible for a permanent resident (green card) visa. This is the stupid "anchor baby" idea, which is incorrect. Merely because you are the parent of a US citizen does not entitle you to an automatic green card.

However, once that child (an automatic US citizen) turns 21, they can then sponsor any parent for a green card.

Yes as a US citizen's immediate relative your kid can petition for your green card. by filing Form I-130. Once its approved and priority date becomes current visa(green card) would be issued with which you can enter US.

How can a mother with a green card get her son to usa?

Not necessary since the child is a US citizen by birth. Before the child is 18 years of age you need to apply for US citizenship certificate using immigration Form N-600. If the question is referring to the PARENT of the US-born child getting a green card, then there is no special way to do this: you will have to wait until your child is 21, after which they can then sponsor you for a green card. Merely being the parent of a US Citizen does not automatically entitle one to a green card immediately (or automatically).


Your wife and you are permanent resients and had a child overseas you brought the child to the US How can you give your child a green card?

Well maybe, it depends. Some areas overseas will not let you give your child a green card unless you have signed many different papers. If you and your wife are both permanent residents of the US, you need no Green Card. The child is presumed to be a US citizen no matter where it was born. The question will be is whether or not the child is also a citizen of its place of birth

Student visa will get a green card after mother's citizenship?

Yes why not!As a green card holder itself mother can petition for child's green card actually. By filing Form I-130 and Form I-485 concurrently the child can adjust status to permanent resident status as and when the immigrant visa becomes available. As a child of a US citizen mother the chances are more to get green card quickly from anywhere between one to five years depending on where which state you file.Meanwhile its very important for the child to maintain legal status in US.
