I got my green card today! What about children that are "follow to join" that turned 21 meanwhile.

😀Hi all, as the title says I got my PRC today after 9 1/2 years of waiting.😀

 

I have three kids who have follow-to-join status. One of them turned 21 while I was waiting. I heard that since I had a covid set-back my children are eligible to join me through my original F11 petition as F12 even if they are grown up now. My PD was April 20th 2015.

 

Thanks in advance.

According to my knowledge, if your initial petition was approved before kids turned 21, it should not be a prb. I could be wrong and experts can give u a better answer. @appleblossom@pushbrk

Thank you, MSSF. In the meantime, I checked with the consultant, and she is eligible. But I don't know if it's because the initial petition was approved before she turned 21  or because of the delay caused by the pandemic.

Because petition was approved before turning 21.

 

i have a question for you @vladar and it will be a big help for us in our case. My siblings have kids who r very under 18. If we add them to “follow to join”  what we have to do when want to process their visa? I mean what application we have file and how much fee and paperwork involved in it. Please share details and whether its good idea to choose follow to join. Another thing, do we use AOS u initially had with your application or you will have new Affidavit of support?

I would imagine it was because under CSPA her adjusted age was under 21.

Dear MSSF, I have yet to go through that process with my follow to join children. I just finished with my immigration. I'll update you once I know more.
