Question: My daughter is going to be 21 soon and I am afraid that she will age-out before she can be seen at the Embassy. What can I do to speed up the process?
Spar & Bernstein: Without knowing where you and your daughter are in the process, it is difficult to answer this question. Protection may be available for your daughter as provided by the Child Status Protection Act, which will either keep her artificially under 21 until she is seen or extend the period of her classification as a child. If Child Status Protection Act does not apply for whatever reason and you are still in processing with the immigration service yourself, you may be able to file for a request to expedite your pending petition. If you are already approved and your daughter is only waiting for an interview, you must be diligent in collecting the necessary documents so that you can send them out immediately.
