Can I include my son who is already in college?

When discussing the EB-3 visa, it is important to understand that this process not only involves the principal worker but also allows for the inclusion of their dependents. Dependents generally mean the spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age. This is fundamental to ensure that those included can accompany the principal applicant to the United States.

In the specific case of a son who is already attending college, he has usually surpassed the age limit to be considered a dependent, since, in general, eligibility requires the child to be under 21 years old. This criterion is applied regardless of the educational or financial situation. Thus, if your son is already attending college, he most likely cannot be included in the process as a dependent under the EB-3 visa.

It is always recommended to confirm this interpretation with specialized professionals, as each case has its particularities and there may be exceptions or alternatives in other visa categories. It is worth emphasizing the importance of strictly following United States immigration laws and seeking information from legitimate sources. Be cautious with promises of guaranteed results and campaigns that may seem like easy shortcuts, as they often do not follow legal guidelines and can end up harming your process.

In summary, for the EB-3 visa, the standard rule is that only unmarried children under 21 years old can be included, which limits the possibility of bringing a child who is already in college. Consulting an immigration specialist can provide a more detailed analysis of your situation and indicate if there are other viable options for your case.
