USCIS Clarifies Definition of Being Under 21
Original: USCIS Answers Thorny Question of When an Alien ‘Is Under 21 Years of Age’
US Citizenship and Immigration Services has issued guidance addressing when an immigrant counts as being under 21 years of age, a question with major consequences in US immigration law since age thresholds determine eligibility for benefits such as child status protections. The clarification was highlighted by the Center for Immigration Studies, which frames it as resolving a long-standing ambiguity that has affected families navigating the immigration system.
Why now: Age cutoffs decide eligibility for key immigration benefits, so any official clarification affects many pending applicants.
