Q: if i don't have green cart but my husband is citizen did my husband can give my daugther a visa from haiti?
A: If your U.S. Citizen husband married you while your child was under the age of 18, then your husband may file a petition for relative on behalf of his stepchild, your biological child. If your child is still under the age of 21, then that child will be treated as an "immediate relative" as that term is contemplated under U.S. immigration law, the effect of which is that a "green card" would be immediately available (meaning not subject to a quota). Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent immigration attorney. Some attorneys offer online Skype consultations for individuals who may not reside in the area in which the lawyer's office is located.
