COVID US entry travel restriction question

[NJCube 4]

Hello,

 

I am a US citizen who is married to someone who is originally from Spain.  He is now a Lawful Permanent Resident of the US.   He has two daughters who still live in Spain with their mother.  My husband has not been able to see his daughters in over a year since the pandemic started.  

 

We wanted to bring them for a visit toward the end of June and was looking at flights but I am a bit unclear about the current covid related travel restrictions.   

 

According to the "Proclamation on the Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Non-Immigrants of Certain Additional Persons Who Pose a Risk of Transmitting Coronavirus Disease" dated Jan 25, 2021 from the White House, it states that:

 

"The entry into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, of noncitizens who were physically present within the Schengen Area (which includes Spain), is hereby suspended and limited subject to section 2 of this proclamation. 

 

...this proclamation shall not apply to:

 

(vi)    any noncitizen who is the child, foster child, or ward of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, or who is a prospective adoptee seeking to enter the United States pursuant to the IR-4 or IH-4 visa classifications."

 

According to this, his daughters should be exempt from the travel restriction, however, I am not clear as to the definition of a "Child".  What is the age limit that constitutes a child?  His daughters are 17 and 21.

 

There is another point in the same document regarding siblings that is much more specific about age:

 

"(v)     any noncitizen who is the sibling of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, provided that both are unmarried and under the age of 21"

 

This make me think that since there is no age limit listed in reference to his kids, they can come but I'm not sure.

 

I've called the Spanish consulate in New York City and the US Embassy in Spain to get the answer to this question and both have no clue.  They both say that no one can travel to the US from Spain and vice versa at this moment which I know is not true. 

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.
