Best Answer

It is a lot more complex than just getting married. It takes several years and many appointments with the Immigration office. There are a lot of factors that go into to play here. I do believe that you must apply from your home now and not if you are already in the USA.

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.
