AAAAAA, wrong answer guys...listen to what she is asking....
RCS, if you have no status the child cannot apply for you until they are 18! Is this your only US relative that you can derive from? If so you must wait.

It's very easy if......
1. The child is 21 or older
and
2. The parent is NOT here illegally.

If you are not currently married to a US citizen (the father of your anchor baby?), then you cannot just pledge to the flag and "poof" you are a US citizen.
It is reprehensable that an illegal alien has a baby while in the USA illegally (anchor baby). And shame on you for doing so.
You should have used birth control!
If you are not in this nation legally, and you have a child in this country, you have instigated a big potential mess should you be picked up for deportation, and again, SHAME ON YOU!
You are an illegal alien, and you can be deported, your child will be deported with you, since they are under the age of consent, unless you choose to leave him/her with another family here in the USA to be raised, and if you do so, you have to sign papers giving them legal guardianship, so that your child can get medical help if they are in a horrible accident or something.
Since you do not have a legal green card, and are in the US illegally, you need to return to your own country, so that you can apply, from there, to immigrate legally, this could take up to 7 years.
You are free to take your baby with you.
If you choose to stay in your own country, and not immigrate legally to the USA, your child has the right, at 18 to make a decision to live in the USA, and may use their legal US birth certificate to verify citizenship.
At that time, your US citizen child can file for you to immigrate legally, as his or her sponsered family member.
This process, one way or the other, will take years.
If you choose to remain in the USA, whether or not your kid is a citizen, you may be arrested and deported at any moment.
You made a mess of your life by having a baby while illegal in a foreign country.
I only hope you are not on some kind of US public assistance.
I want my taxes to be spend for US citizens, and legal immigrants, not for illegal aliens who make anchor babies, and who have absolutely NO respect for our borders, our laws, our nation.

Children of minor age by a US citizen has an advantage of being granted a visa if the financial capacity to support the child is proven.

I would guess very easy. Such a person has a right to be here if he or she is the parent of an American.
What you should do is apply for citizenship yourself.
Raise your right hand and pledge allegiance to the United States and forsake the country you came from.
There is nothing left for you there.
Welcome to the USA sweetie!

It depends on how much they have 'back home' to indicate they will return. It is a situation where many overstay, so care is taken about that.
