It depends how long the petition takes to approve. You are correct that marriage automatically invlaidates it but not correct when you say age doesn’t matter. The USCIS definition of a child for immigration purposes is unmarried under 21. There is some protection under something called CSPA, that said I have never heard of it protecting anyone as old as 31. Must have been a very special case. Anyway there is nothing your parent can do about this other than file as soon as possible.

oh okay, Thank you so much for your help

The 9-year old and any other kids closer to that age could very well age out by the time the visas are issued, its likely to be a 15- year wait,could possibly be longer.

does it matter about the age? i know someone from Pakistan who applied for their sisters and brothers and one of her sisters son is 31 unmarried and hes coming along with her.. but the other one is 28 and  married, has a kid and hes the one who cant come along.. i think the marriage is what matters not the age, i'm not sure? can someone answer this please?

Depending on their country of chargability, the wait could be 30+ years, actually.

 

Yes, derivatives are including in an F4 case. This includes a spouse and unmarried, under-21 children. That said, as others noted, the children may age out and not qualify by the time a visa number becomes available.

The country is Pakistan, all the kids are very young ages 2-9.. do you have any link for case F4?

yes i know about the wait, we still want to apply for them. could you help me with the question above? please
