Under US immigration law, lawful permanent residents (LPR or green card holders) may petition their unmarried children, whether the child is under or over 21 years of age.

Under US immigration law, lawful permanent residents may petition their unmarried children, whether the child is under or over 21 years of age. The parent does not have to wait until they become a US citizen to petition adult single children.

Many people have consulted with me where the child married before the petitioning parent naturalized. In that case, the parent should immediately file a new petition in the F-3 category, although they would now receive a new priority date based on the date the new F-3 petition is filed. If you have petitioned a single child and have issues about the validity of the petition in light of the child’s marriage, you may want to consult with an attorney to make sure the petition is still valid and on track.
