Turning 21 years old, IR2 visa?

[cmdgaf 0]

Hi everyone,

Am I qualified for IR2 visa when I am turning 21 next year on July 2015? I am currently 20 and my step-father who is U.S citizen will send the petition on January 2015. If not, what type visa will I receive?

Did your stepfather marry your mother before you turned 18? That's the big question.

Yes, they got married when I was still 10 years old..

Also they have 1 kid together, which is my 5 year old half-sister

Well that's great. Have him file away asap as the day they receive your petition your age is frozen.

Ah okay I guess 20 years old is still qualified for IR2 visa.. But yeah hopefully it will take no more than 6 months to receive the petition Thanks for the responses though, I appreciate it very much

Don't worry, your age is frozen since the day they receive the mail with your petition, It takes 6 months for them to review it and send a decision, I was worried about that too, I'm already 21 and my category hasn't changed because I was petitioned when I was 20.
