IMMIGRATION QUESTION & ANSWER
Key Points(5)
- <strong>Question: Hi I am a green card holder can I file for my 4 children, 2 under age 18, one age 20 and one age 25?</strong> <strong>Answer: </strong>Yes, as a Green Card holder (U.S.
- Resident), you can file for your minor children (under age 21), in the F2A Immigration Category and your adult SINGLE children in the F2B Immigration Category.
- The waiting line for residency for minor children (F2A) is about 1 ½ years, so any of your children age 19 or younger will likely be able to immigrate in the next few years, unless they are married or get married before immigrating.
- The waiting time for adult, single children (F2B) is about 7 – 8 years, so your 20 and 25 year-old children will have to wait quite a few years more before being able to immigrate.
- Also, please make sure your adult children understand that if they marry, the Immigrant Visa petition will automatically be cancelled, unless you have naturalized before your child marries.
