    The answer is the same as before: no. Immigration papers are legally binding documents. One of them is a financial affidavit of support, which the petitioner must sign. A ten-year-old cannot sign and be financially responsible for her parents and older brother. That is why US immigration laws restrict the right to petition family members to adults 21 and older, making an exception for spouses since a minor becomes becomes a legal adult after marriage.

    Your daughter will adapt to her new life, just like children in other families who move to another country. My daughter was born in South Korea and lived there for several years before moving to the US at the age of 7, around the same age that your daughter moved to Macedonia. She missed her friends and all the fun things we used to do as a family in Seoul, but she has adjusted to her new school, made friends, and is learning to like local recreational activities. I understand that Macedonia isn't as economically developed as the US, so your family would rather return here, but that's not a legal option right now.

    No, your daughter cannot sponsor you. She must be over 21, and earn enough to support herself, all other dependents (e.g. spouse, child), plus any prospective immigrant she petitions for, and have a home for them. It will be a couple of decades before she's educated, builds a career and is earning the kind of money required to support a household of 4 (assuming she does not marry or have any children), then petitions for you all. Parents will be allowed to enter earlier than her brother - it will take at least 11-12 years after her petition is filed before he would be allowed to enter.

    If you have a 10 year old child, they can sponsor you in 11 years at the age of 21. So you are looking at the year 2022.

    She can. When she turn 21, is domiciled in the US, and has a good job capable of supporting you all.

    Yes, when your daughter becomes 21 years of age and she has enough income to sponsor you and your families. Also, she has to prove that she has US domicile when she sponsor you guys.

    You have to wait until she is 21 to petition you and makes enough income.
