USCIS Clarifies When an Immigrant Counts as Under 21
Original: USCIS Answers Thorny Question of When an Alien ‘Is Under 21 Years of Age’
US Citizenship and Immigration Services has issued guidance answering how age 'under 21 years' is determined for immigration purposes. The question matters because age thresholds govern eligibility for certain statuses, including protections that allow children to remain eligible after long processing delays. The guidance addresses how birthdays and filing dates are counted, a detail that has produced inconsistent outcomes for applicants.
Why now: Immigrants and lawyers need clarity on age rules that determine eligibility for key immigration benefits.
