I want to sponsor my child to join me in the US, but they are already 20 years old. Will their age affect the process

Age can be an important factor in immigration cases. In many situations, unmarried children under 21 are considered immediate relatives of US citizens and may have faster processing times compared to older children.

If your child turns 21 before the process is completed, they may move into a different visa category, which can involve longer waiting periods. There are some legal protections that may help in certain cases, so it is important to review the timing carefully.
