Minimum age of the U.S. citizen petitioner in a marriage-based green card case
I’d like to know the minimum age required for a U.S. citizen petitioner in a marriage-based green card case. I’m still legally a minor, but I want to get married soon. What is the minimum age required for the petitioner (U.S. citizen) to file a CR-1 Spouse Green Card petition?
Is this possible for a minor?
There is no minimum age requirement specifically for filing a CR-1 Spouse Green Card petition. However, because Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support) must be submitted, the petitioner must effectively be at least 18 years old and have a U.S. address. Form I-864 is a required document when applying for a green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen (CR-1 Spouse Green Card).
