A Case involving a Child of a US Citizen with an Overstayed Visa from Ghana

With the father recently filing an I-130, they will need to provide the documentation requested to the Service Center. If the documentation establishes the father-child relationship, the case will be approved. The next step will be either adjustment of status within the U.S. or consular processing abroad in Ghana. If the child is under 21 and unmarried, they will be able to adjust status within the U.S. as long as the family has proof of lawful entry. If the child is over 21 or married, and have overstayed their visa, they will have to process the immigrant visa in Ghana causing the child to need a waiver depending on how long they overstayed their visa.
