short question. Am I inmediate relative?

[pabloe168 0]

A month ago my step father sent the application for my permanent residence. I am 19, but yet again he is a step father not biological father. My mom is holding a temporary residence until she can get the permanent one. So do I qualify for inmediate relative of his? how long will it take for this process since I am in texas, but my case got transfered to the office in California any clue?

Thanks a lot.

Yes you are, same as biological children of a USC. How did you enter the US? are you legally here with some visa? Did you enter under K2?

It depends. How old were you when step dad and mom got married?

Your step-father can only file for you if you were under age 18 when he married your mother.

If you were over age 18 when he married your mother, then the I-130 will be denied. A stepparent cannot file for a child who was 18 or older when the stepparent married the biological (legal) parent.

If you were under age 18 when he married your mother, then you are his Immediate Relative. Your age froze when he filed. You should get a visa within 6-12 months after he files.
