A recent case highlights the critical timing involved in U.S. immigration processes, particularly for families applying under the EB-1A category. An immigration attorney reported that a client’s EB-1A application was approved just 10 days before his daughter turned 21, a milestone that would have caused her to ‘age out’ of the application. This approval allows the daughter to remain on her father’s green card application, avoiding the need to start her own immigration journey from scratch.
Key Details:
- Approval date: 10 days before the daughter turned 21.
- Age-out rule: Children of EB-1A applicants lose eligibility at 21.
- Impact: Delays could force families to restart the immigration process.
- Advice: Parents are urged to file early and build their profiles to avoid last-minute issues.
This case serves as a reminder of the urgency families face in navigating the immigration system, which often does not accommodate personal timelines.
