USCIS Clarifies Age Rule for Applicants Under 21
Original: USCIS Answers Thorny Question of When an Alien ‘Is Under 21 Years of Age’
USCIS has issued guidance addressing how immigration authorities determine when an applicant counts as 'under 21 years of age'. Age cutoffs matter in immigration because turning 21 can make applicants, including children of visa holders and asylum seekers, age out of eligibility for certain benefits. The clarification aims to resolve ambiguity over how to calculate age, a recurring problem for families navigating green card and status processes.
Why now: Clarified age calculation rules affect whether young immigrants qualify for benefits before they age out at 21.
