Can the age used under immigration law differ from someone’s actual age?
Hello. I got married and am planning to include my minor child in the green card process. I’ve heard that even if the immigration-law age differs from the child’s actual age, filing based on the immigration-law age is still possible — I’d like to know if that’s true.
Yes, when sponsoring a child for a green card through marriage, you can file using the immigration-law age, which can differ from the child’s current actual age. Generally, the marriage must have been legally registered before the child turned 18.
