Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

The short answer is yes, but when they can come depends. That is, the real answer to the question depends on whether you obtained your green card as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen or under a different category. If you obtained it because you are the child of a U.S. citizen, then you will need to file a petition for your child separately. If you obtained it under a different category, then they may be able to come sooner.

This is an anomaly under the law. Children and spouses of other categories can come with their parent or spouse if the principal alien wasn't an immediate relative. This is essentially penalizing derivatives of U.S. citizen qualifying relatives.
