No. Review each child’s facts, visa availability and any Child Status Protection Act issue individually.
Use the actual dates
A testimonial is not a legal calculation. Filing does not automatically freeze age-related eligibility or resolve every derivative requirement.
Record birth dates and the petition history, and ask counsel to apply the applicable rules to those specific facts rather than relying on a general estimate. When a visa becomes available, each family member pays for either adjustment of status inside the United States or an immigrant visa at a consulate, plus the medical examination and biometrics. When the time comes to remove conditions, the investor files Form I-829 and the derivatives are generally included on it, though a spouse or child may need to file separately if the family situation has changed. Spouse and unmarried children under 21 qualify as derivatives under either the standard or reduced investment amount; the targeted employment area question affects the capital amount, not family eligibility. Family members are identified by their relationship, evidenced by civil-status documents, and a spouse and unmarried children under twenty-one may generally be included as derivatives on that basis.
