H4: Age limit for the child

[hedude 0]

Hi,

My friend just got married.

- He has H1 visa.

- His wife has a child. The child is over 18 years old at the time of the marriage, but younger than 21.

Can he bring the child to US by H4 as well?

Most resources just talk about "unmarried child under 21".

But also USCIS website has

http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/child.htm

Definition of a Child

- A stepchild if the marriage creating the steprelationship took place before the child reached the age of 18

Does this definition apply to H4 visa also?

thank you in advance.
