Can a 20 Year-Old Child Age Out of a K2 Visa?

27 Mar 2018

Mike asks: “My fiancé and I have just completed the application for k1 visa and we would like to know if her 20 yo daughters age will be frozen for k2 visa while the application is being processed as she will Be 21 December 2018.”

The K-2 nonimmigrant (child of a K-1 nonimmigrant who is the fiancé(e) of a U.S. citizen), must be unmarried and under 21 when they are admitted to the United States. The age is not frozen at the time of application.

If the child ages out, the biological parent of the child may petition for them after receiving their green card.
