A U.S. citizen is able to sponsor his child over the age of 21 for a Family-based Green Card through Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. A child over the age of 21 is not considered to be an immediate relative.This means they have priority and do not have to wait in line for their Green Cards.

After filing Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, the approval process can take anywhere from 5 to 12 months for immediate relatives and could take several years for family preference categories. This is an approximation.

CSPA age is calculated by subtracting the number of days the petition was pending from the applicant's age on the date an immigrant visa becomes available to the applicant.

The derivative beneficiary's age for CSPA purposes would be 20 (the beneficiary was 27 when the I-485 was filed, but the visa petition was pending for 7 years). This derivative beneficiary can benefit from the CSPA since he or she applied for permanent residence within one year of visa number availability.

CSPA age is calculated by subtracting the number of days the petition was pending from the applicant's age on the date an immigrant visa becomes available to the applicant.

A citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States may file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to establish the existence of a relationship to certain alien relatives who wish to immigrate to the United States.

Average time - Seven to 32 months to get a Form I-130 petition (Petition for Alien Relative) approved by USCIS as of early 2021; another six to ten months or longer to get an immigrant visa to come to the United States.

For most people, this generally means that you entered the United States with valid documentation and made face to face contact with a U.S. immigration officer and that officer acknowledged your entry to the United States. If you entered with a valid visa, but that visa has since expired, you still had a lawful entry.

CSPA age is calculated by subtracting the number of days the Form I-130 (or Form I-360 for VAWA self-petitioners and derivatives) was pending from the applicant's age on the date an immigrant visa becomes available to the applicant.

More than 23,000 children will age out of the US foster care system every year. After reaching the age of 18, 20% of the children who were in foster care will become instantly homeless.
