child 20 submitted on I-129f, already in U.S. on J1 and turned 21 and now being told not eligible

The I-539 was a form requesting a change of visa status. There was no avenue to try to change her from the J-1 visa to any other visa. We really should not have even submitted it.

In response to the !-130 and I-485, she was not told that she aged out or that she did not qualify. They instructed her to get a medical physical and get her finger prints done and photo taken. The rest of the family only had to get finger prints and photo. This tells me that she is still in the process of the package for that.

A physical is required with the adjustment of status, to be performed within the last year.

an I-485 was submitted for her after her mother and i got married. I submitted the whole family at one time. I am not sure now about an I-130. I don't believe one was necessary.

perhaps is some path then, with the I-539 and an I-485 on her, submitted WITH the pile of other I-485s.

Perhaps. I not have any knowledge about this particular basis for adjustment.

Or, she's gotten lucky so far and it's not been caught, this concept of her not having the basis to adjust.

that is correct. She wasn't required one the for the J-1 for some reason. Maybe because she had one on file from the first trip to work. I just believe that they wouldn't ask her to get one plus biometrics if she wasn't approved for the adjustment... right?

It is just part of requirements for processing. You won't know if she is approved, or denied, until the end. An form submitted with basic information and a check was all you needed to get to this point. Until the case is actually adjudicated, you won't know what the decision will be. They may even ask for an interview, and render the decision then, or even afterwards.

Okay, I understand. Thank you for your help. I will check in the morning (my time) night your time for any further advice.

How old was she when you married?
