Can my child, who is nearing 21 years old, be issued a visa before he turns 21?
If visa numbers are available for you (or your visa case becomes current for processing) and your child is “aging out” (or turning 21), we are prepared to expedite the processing of the application. However, it is still the applicant’s responsibility to complete the application requirements in a timely manner. U.S. immigration law requires that visa applications be strictly processed according to priority date because of the limited number of visas available worldwide. This means the Embassy will not process visa applications with priority dates that are not current. If your case is current for processing, you may proceed to St. Luke’s Medical Center Extension Clinic to pick up your appointment letter. If you believe ageing out will affect your case, you may contact the Embassy by fax at (632) 301-2591 or by mail at: From within the Philippines: Operations Unit , Immigrant Visa Branch, United States Embassy, 1201 Roxas Blvd., Ermita, Metro Manila 1000.
