Yeah, that's my concern for the 20 year old. I will get on the paperwork asap and worry about what comes after. Thanks

Regarding the CSPA, thanks for that information also. I will read up on it.

Appreciate the response Mike. However, I need to get the facts before taking early steps. Once the US give a timeline they don't sway from such if one's needs/desires is not part of their procedures. I have the I-130 forms ready to go but I need to be sure of what accommodations are available.

Hello: I currently live in Canada but preparing to move back to the US once I get a few things straightened out. I am hoping to do so within the next three years. Would be great if I am able to do so before.... I have two daughters, ages 20 and 18 whom I would like to petition for their US immigrant visas. I heard that once a child becomes 21 the process for them getting an immigrant visa through a parent take much longer than a year. Is this true? I want to file their papers before my oldest reaches age 21. However, I understand that an immigrant visa could be granted anywhere from eight months to a year. What I wouldn’t want to happen is for their visas to be granted and I would not be able to relocate with them, regardless they have family members they could stay with. Well, I understand that the sponsor (me)would need to be domicile in the US at the time my children arrive in the country. Is this true? I believe once an immigrant visa is issued, the applicant(s) must arrive in the US no later than six months after the issuance of such visa. Are there options whereas one can submit an immigration application and ask for a delay in relocation time once the visa has been approved? Are there any special support services or organizations to aide US citizens abroad relocate back to the US with their family? Thanks so much for all your helpful advice
