More details to this question:
I''m 21, not married, and living in Peru. My mother is undocumented and about to marry a US citizen.
Can she/her husband apply for me, so I can get a social security number and eventually a greencard?
If so, how long would it take?
Thank you.

Update Your Profile
Unfortunately, as a 21 years old, you no longer meet the definition of "child" under the immigration laws. Your mother can sponsor you after she becomes permanent resident. There is a backlog, however, for adult children of residents and, depending on your country of birth, the wait could be 8 years up to 19 years. I should also caution you that there is no category for married children of permanent residents, so your mother could not sponsor you if you get married. If your mother naturalizes, then she could sponsor you regardless of your marital status. I hope this information is helpful to you.
