A Green Card for children under 21 of a U.S. citizen is a critical step in protecting your family’s unity. Because children are classified as “immediate relatives,” there are typically no annual quotas — giving parents a more direct path to safeguarding their child’s future. While this may seem straightforward, the process is still filled with potential pitfalls that can trigger anxiety and derail families who are desperate to remain together.
Key Eligibility Points
Despite fewer logistical hurdles compared to other categories, many families encounter surprises when they miss a minor detail. Request for Evidence (RFE) notices or delays often happen because parents overlook certain documents, forget a signature, or are unaware of how stepchild or guardianship rules apply. And if your child is approaching the age of 21, every day counts—filing delays can abruptly put their eligibility at risk.
That’s where professional help matters. At Occam Immigration, we cut out the guesswork. Our legal insight, systematic document checks, and focused approach help you conquer government requirements confidently, so you can stay one step ahead of potential roadblocks and concentrate on what really matters: keeping your family together.

Real-life successes illustrate how swiftly and effectively we help families surmount government barriers to keep their children in the U.S.
Situation: Their 17-year-old daughter was nearing the end of her student visa.
Challenge: They faced a tight window to file her Green Card application before legal status expired.
Outcome: Our Fast-Track-to-Filing Program had her application ready in just 14 days. She received approval in a matter of months, avoiding a forced departure and keeping the family’s lives on track.
Situation: A U.S. citizen was moving back to the United States with his Canadian wife and her two children. One of them was at risk of aging-out of green card eligibility.
Challenge: Age-out provisions are tricky to navigate and any delays would have resulted in a very different outcome for the family.
Outcome: We built a clear strategy and oversaw every detail — coordinating with the embassy to get the visa issued before the child aged-out.
“We felt overwhelmed and anxious about deadlines. Occam Immigration brought clarity and speed to an intimidating process. They filed our son’s petition in a week and had the visa application complete within 6 days. The visa came much faster than we expected!”

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive:
Petitions for children in the Immediate Relative (IR) category typically move quicker than other family-based categories because there’s no annual visa cap. The exact timeline varies by USCIS and consulate schedules, but Occam Immigration ensures you’re not the cause of any delay—our 30-day filing target sets you up for the fastest possible approval.
Yes. If your marriage to the child’s parent occurred before the child’s 18th birthday, they generally qualify as an immediate relative. We’ll guide you on documentation needed to confirm this relationship so nothing derails your case.
This is a common worry. If your child ages out, they could lose immediate relative status. We recommend filing as early as you can, and in certain cases, the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) can lock in the child’s age. Timing here is crucial — our rapid approach helps you avoid missing that critical eligibility window.
It depends on whether your child is already in the U.S. in a valid status or abroad. We’ll outline both paths — Form I-485 for adjustment or consular processing through the National Visa Center (NVC) — to ensure you follow the right route without confusion.
While no one wants to face these hurdles, we prepare every application with a meticulous eye for detail to minimize such risks. If an RFE occurs, our team responds swiftly, so minor complications don’t escalate into bigger issues. Denials are rare when handled properly, but if that happens, we’ll help you explore appeals or other next steps.
