    I recently had the slightly unpleasant experience of transferring through NRT and having to clear Japanese immigrations and customs. And Covid controls. In spite of lengthy email from airline that it was unnecessary.

    100% what @Mike E said. I would not take the risk of transferring through Canadian or any other pre clearance port. I can confirm that they do not allow you to wait overnight at the gate. My flight was not delayed or cancelled. In 2019, there was an AC computer meltdown and the system lost my booking even though I had a paper boarding card and passed through US immigrations. I had to buy a $1000 ticket for the next day at the airport counter as interwebs and phone help down (slept there overnight). AC paid me back every cent eventually. Not easily. You should not want to take that risk.

    I didn’t say that clearly. He needs to consult a lawyer for the other 2 - the argument (no idea if there have been other cases) is that since he isn’t considered their father for immigration purposes, can he still be considered their stepfather (which is what he was before)? As their stepfather, he can sponsor them. The mother can sponsor them BUT the 19 year old has accrued unlawful presence and the 17 year old too by the time she files for them so cannot adjust in the U.S. and subject to ban. As children of LPR, they are not forgiven for overstay (which they would be as children of USC). He needs a lawyer, fast. And file i130 and i485 for the wife and youngest child.

    Yes, this is problematic. He didn’t need to adopt them to petition on their behalf as a stepfather as he married the mother before any of them turned 16. Yet, any child he adopted after they were 16 cannot be sponsored by him for a green card. He messed up by not consulting an immigration lawyer first. 21 is important because overstay doesn’t matter for a child under 21.
