How many children can I bring with me on a work visa in the United States?

According to American immigration law, foreigners holding work visas such as H- 1B, L- 1, O- 1, P- 1 or R- 1 can bring their spouses and unmarried children into the United States, and these children can legally live and study in the United States. According to American immigration law, the age limit for children is 2 1 year.

However, it should be noted that if the child is over 2 1 year old, it will no longer be regarded as a family member and needs to apply for his own visa independently. In addition, if children stay in the United States for more than six months, they may need to adjust their status or apply for other types of visas.

To sum up, American work visa holders can bring unmarried children under the age of 2 1 into the United States and legally stay and study in the United States. 2/kloc-children over 0/year old need to apply for visas independently.

Legal basis: Article 10 1(b)( 1) of the Immigration and Nationality Law (INA) stipulates: "Children include legitimate children, illegitimate children, stepchildren and adopted children, but only refer to unmarried children under 2 1 year old." Therefore, the children of American work visa holders must be under 2 1 year old and unmarried before they can be regarded as family members to enter the United States.
