My 3 year old daughter was born in Sarasota, while our family lived legally there for a period of 2 years. Now we have decide to explore the opportunities available to us for going back to United States.
I will appreciate any answer, idea, advise or maybe a reference to a good immigration lawyers.
best regards
Claudia

thanks for the answers. It is obvious i did not explain myself correctly. I don,t nor did i ever intended to just puck up my bags and move to the US.
I know that is elegal. what i was wondering was if there is any legal procedure by which we could obtain papers to allow us to live in the US.
I should also mention that my husband has his own stock trading company, and he would like to get register as a CTA.

Your daughter is a US born citizen, however this does NOT give you the right as a parent(s) to live and work in the USA. To do this you would have to qualify for a visa in your own right.
Assuming you have no immediate family in the USA, like parents then your only option would be a work visa, typically a H1B visa. If this is not an option for you, you can always wait until your daughter reaches 21 and she can sponsor you and your husband.
To qualify for US citizenship, you get a work visa, then green card then US citizenship. This takes a number of years.

Your 3-year old daughter cannot petition for you until she is 21. Naturally, she can always return to the U.S. by herself when she's old enough to travel alone.
What was the legal status that you were in for two years? It appears that being able to resume that legal status is not an option if you're exploring opportunities.
At the moment, you do not appear to qualify for any type of visa which would allow you to live in the U.S. based on the information that you provided.

You need to wait until your daughter becomes 21 to petition your immigrant process. Meantime, you can find a job in US who is willing to sponsor H-1B (Skilled Workers visa) or you can attend Academic Schools with F-1B (Student Visa).
Also, you can consult with Immigration Attorneys if they can give you more possible options. You can find the list through American Immigration Lawyer Association. Good luck.

You can apply to come to the US of A thru legal channels. Your daughter is a US citizen and can come whenever she would care to. Having an anchor baby does not make it easier for the parents to gain entry.

Your daughter can live in the U.S because she is a U.S. Citizen.. YOU on the other hand are an ALIEN and can NOT live in the U.S. without going through the channels.

You are more than welcome as soon as you apply for citizenship. Your daughter's status doesnt affect yours at all. Currently it's vice versa, but not for much longer. http://www.buildingdemocracy.org/Nativism_In_the_House/A_Report_on_the_HIRC/Appendix:_Birthright_Citizenship_Act_of_2007_200710101095/
