Experts suggest that F4 immigrants in the United States are over-aged.

1, according to American immigration law, all children under 2 1 include 2 1. You are the accompanying family members of F4 brothers and sisters immigrants. As long as you are not over 265,438+0 years old when the schedule comes, you are not over age. However, the average waiting time for F4 in the United States is about ten years (currently it is scheduled for February 2002), so according to your current situation of 18 years old, you should be over age when you arrive. 2. The Child Protection Act is an American immigration protection law promulgated by the United States in August 2002, which aims to protect those problems caused by the delay in handling cases by the US Immigration Service. The conditions for you to apply for the Child Protection Law are: the date of your approval, that is, the time when you receive the I797 approval letter-the time when you apply for immigration = the number of years of protection, and then use your age-the number of years of protection. If the result is less than or equal to 2 1 year (equal to 2 1 year before your 22nd birthday), it is within the scope of the Child Protection Law. If it is older than 2 1 year, it is within the scope of the child protection law. Of course, if you can still use the American Patriot Act for protection, the protection period is only 45 days. Let me help you calculate it according to the general situation: the schedule is at the beginning of 2002, and your application is at the end of 20 10. Generally, you have to wait about ten years, so your schedule should be around 20 19. Your current age is 18 years old, and you will be 27 years old in 20 19, so your protection period is 27-2 1=6 years, before you can apply for the child protection law, that is to say, your application will be approved in 20 16 years, and then you can use the child protection law to follow your parents to the United States. It's hard to say everything now, and I won't be sure until I receive the approval letter ~ ~ Because I'm also an F4 parent, I'm over age, so I know something about it, and I hope it will help you ~ ~
