  1. Your child is an american citizen, but you are still illegal. You have to wait 21 years.

    Unfortunately that's the law.


  2. When you are baby becomes 21, s/he can file petition for your green card. In the meantime, you cannot live in US unless you have another visa. You don't get green card just on the fact that you have baby in US.  

  3. Yes. The baby is an American and when the child reaches 21 years of age it can apply to get you an immigration visa (first step to getting a green card(unless the laws change by then)).  

  4. Not now.  Nothing for spawing an anchor child, until that child is 21 and can financially petition you back from your own country.  When your visa is up, you must leave or be illegally in this country and subject to deportation.

  5. There are no immediate immigration benefits available to a mother and/or father who has a U.S. born baby. The baby is a U.S. citizen, and that's about all you get. As the others have told you, the baby can petition for you when he/she turns 21.

    In the meantime, if you continue to maintain your I visa status as a representative of the international news media, you can remain in the U.S.
