Most likely, your sister will only be able to immigrate herself and her youngest child who is under the age of 21. That is because the relevant time to look at age for a child is generally at the time of entry into the United States. There is an exception under the Child Status Protection Act under which a child's age becomes frozen at the time that the priority date becomes current, and credit can be given for the period of time that the I-130 petition pended at Immigration before approval. If you use those points to calculate and the other children's ages are less than 21 when the priority date is current, the child or children could still apply to immigrate with your sister.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
