It’s a visa that you do need to apply for. And it’s not a guaranteed thing. If it doesn’t work out. Kids stay in the US and parents get kicked out?

I know you are asking rhetorically, but this occurs routinely under the current US immigration regime.

There have been over 100,000 children separated from their parents in the United States due to immigration enforcement since 2025.

The feature story in the linked article is about a now 2 year old whose parents were not there for them beginning to walk or talk.
