Age of Petitioner

Immigration Links - Immigration Forum: Immigrant Visas - Family: Age of Petitioner
By Karl on Monday, May 14, 2001 - 12:05 pm:

My understanding is that a Petitioner must be 21 years of age - even if the petitioner is a spouse. Or does it vary from state to state, depending on the age of majority in each state. I am confused because i have two aquaintances one was accepted and one was denied due to the above age question. I am 20 years of age. Need some claification.

Dear Karl:

A person does NOT have to be 21 in order to petitioner for a spouse. All that is required is that the parties were old enough to marry under the state's marriage laws. Good luck.
