CR-1 with child, marriage over under the age of 18?

[mai95 4]

I just need to get something clear, If filing for a CR-1, a minor child can also file an separate I-130 as long as the marriage took place before the child's 18 birthday?
Otherwise if the marriage too place after had their 18th birthday then the US citizen (step-parent) could not petition them? And they would have to wait till their parent got their green card and be petitioned by the Lawful Permanent Resident. I hope this did not confuse someone like it is me.

It's better to pursue K-1/K-2 visa, if the kid is under 21 but over 18.

Yes , and thank you, but is it true what I did write?

hi

yes, the step parent can file for stepchild if the marriage took place before the child's 18th birthday. otherwise, when the birthparent becomes a LPR then they will have to file for child

it doesn't matter if it's conditional or not, how many years married isn't relevant, what's important is that the marriage took plate when the child was a minor

The last answer is correct. My children were petitioned for separate because they were under 18 befor the mariage took place. They got their visas at same time with me.
