More details to this question:
Does it make any difference if the child is already 18 but less than 21 years old, as far as the time that s/he would decide or have to travel to the US after the visa approval?

Read the materials. The immigrant visa packet must be used within 180 days of issuance. The child must be under 21, but the packet expires sooner. If you have any concerns or confusion, then I strongly recommend a teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney, to discuss other options, before there are any further complications. The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
