Welcome :),

I can understand your English just fine. I do not know the answer to your question.

I am hoping that someone else will read your question and be able to give you some answers.

I know you must be terribly excited to finally be at your date and want to do everything just right.

I am sure that we can find some answers for you or at least help you look.

Take care.

I have posted the link to this information so that you can read it yourself. It does say that you and any qualifying dependents will be eligible. I hope this is helpful and hopefully someone else will chime in.

I also would recommend that you consult with a qualified immigration attorney. Another opportunity would be to attend Laurel Scott's free chat on Wednesday at 9 am Pacific time. She is a lawyer and you would be able to ask her your question. Her website is here: http://www.visacentral.net/

http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/B1.pdf

Any permanent resident (your Mother) can file a petition for • Unmarried child(ren), regardless of age. (On what basis is your Mother in the US as a legal permanent resident?)

In your petition, you will have to prove your relationship to the
person for whom you are filing.

When your relative reaches the front of the line,
the U.S. Department of State will contact him/her with instructions
on how to apply for an immigrant visa.

There is no visa category for the married child of a permanent
resident. A petition for an unmarried child will normally be
automatically revoked if he/she gets married. (You have never married, right?)

After you file a relative petition, we will mail you a receipt so you will
know we have received your petition. (Your Mother should have the receipt from her original filing for you)

We will notify you when we make a decision. Normally, if we approve
the petition, we will send it to the U.S. State Department’s National
Visa Center (NVC). (Your Mother has the approval notice for the petition)

Once your relative’s place in line for a visa
number is reached, the NVC will notify you and your relative, inviting
him/her and qualifying dependents to apply for a visa.

(It sounds like they will notify you and your Mother and tell you what to do next.)

Beneficiaries Who Wish to Bring Children
How do I bring my children to the U.S. if I am the beneficiary of the petition? If your U.S. citizen parent, brother or sister is petitioning for you on Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and you are married, your spouse and/or children do not require a separate visa petition. If you are unmarried and 21 years of age or older, your children do not require a separate visa petition. In both cases, your spouse and/or children will be included in the visa petition your immediate relative is filing for you. If you are unmarried and under 21 years of age, you will need to file a petition for your children once you obtain lawful permanent resident status. See Following-to-Join Benefits.

Following-to-Join Benefits
Please note: This section is only applicable to lawful permanent residents who did not gain their LPR status as the immediate relative of a U.S. citizen.
If you had children before you became a lawful permanent resident, and your children did not physically accompany you to the United States, and you would now like your children to join you in the United States, your children may be eligible for following-to-join benefits. This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for your children, and your children will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. In this case, you can simply notify a U.S. consulate that you are a lawful permanent resident so that your children can apply for immigrant visas. If, however, you immigrated to the U.S. as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen who did not or could not petition for your children, you will need to file a separate I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. In this case, see How Do I Bring My Child, Son or Daughter to Live in the U.S.?

Your children may be eligible for following-to-join benefits if:

You immigrated on the basis of a fiancé(e) petition
You immigrated on the basis of a diversity immigrant application
You immigrated on the basis of an employment-based petition
You immigrated on the basis of a petition filed by your brother or sister
You immigrated on the basis of an immigrant petition filed by your U.S. citizen parent(s) when you were married or when you were unmarried and over 21 years of age
You immigrated on the basis of your relationship with your lawful permanent resident parents when you were unmarried
Also, for your child to be eligible for following-to-join benefits, he or she must:

Be unmarried and
Be under 21 years of age and
Have been a child from a marriage of yours (the marriage must have existed at the time of your admission to the U.S.) or
Have been a stepchild from a marriage of yours (the marriage must have existed at the time of your admission to the U.S.) or
Have been legally adopted prior to your admission to the U.S., and otherwise qualify as an adopted child under the immigration law.
If you fall into one of the categories above, please submit the following information to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services:

Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition
A copy of the original application or petition that you used to apply for your immigrant status
A copy of the I-797 Notice of Action for your original application or petition
A copy of your alien registration receipt card or I-551
Proof that the child meets the appropriate criteria for Following-to-Join Benefits
You should file the I-824 at the USCIS office that took the most recent action on your case.

If the I-824 is approved, the USCIS will notify a U.S. consulate that you are now a lawful permanent resident so that your children can apply for immigrant visas. You must then ask your children to report to the local U.S. consulate to complete the processing.

Thanks a lot pinkpig for your answer, I just read your information, but I can't undersatand this How do I bring my children to the U.S. if I am the beneficiary of the petition? If your U.S. citizen parent, brother or sister is petitioning for you on Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and you are married, your spouse and/or children do not require a separate visa petition. My mother isn't citizen of USA, she is legal resident, you think that this is an inconvenient? I'm not married, so I read that my son could have the Following to join benefits You immigrated on the basis of your relationship with your lawful permanent resident parents when you were unmarried , I already read the information that I must bring to USCIS when I become a legal residen, thank you very much, your information is important for me.
So, now my question is, when I cross the border to go to USA as a legal resident Can I take whit me my baby?
I will visit the pagine of Laurel, and I make her all the quiestions that I have.

Thank you, is pleasing to know that exist persons like you ready to help, I wish the best for you and we continue in contact.

I have the same question that you do when I read that part. But I think that it is just an oversite that it does not say LPR and only USC, as that information is from another immigration website that is run by volunteers just like me.

As I posted in my first citation from the Official government USCIS website, the beneficiary of the I-130 petition and qualifying dependents will be able to apply for a visa.

I have read everything that I can find about this situation and everything leads me to believe that given the facts as you have stated them, your son will be able to come with you.

I just want to tell you again that the attorney Laurel Scott at her free chat will be able to confirm that for you. As this coming Wednesday is the Fourth of July, I don't think there will be a chat. If not then the following Wednesday you can ask her your question and get an answer for sure. If I find anything else that confirms this I will post it here.

Mu question for you is on what basis is your Mother a LPR? It seems there are different rules for this depending on how your MOther became a LPR. That is my only question about your situation.

I'm happy!, I think that my way is clear now, I love my son and never want to separated him.
My mother became a legal resident by the last amnisty (I don't remember now the year) , she was a farmer worker. Now she is still working she has 60 years old and some people tell her that she could be USC, but her lawyer tell her that the interview and the examination will be in english,and she is scared about that. What think you about?
I'm waiting your answer but | can't read it in the weeken because I don't have internet at home, until monday.
Je te embrasse.
