Is there an age limit for children to come as dependents?

The EB-5 visa allows including direct dependents in the application, generally covering the spouse and unmarried children.

Children must be under 21 years old to be considered eligible dependents. However, U.S. legislation presents nuances, such as the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), which can protect the eligibility of children who turn 21 during processing, provided specific requirements are met and the application was filed while they were minors.

This flexibility is essential to avoid excluding family members who age during the process, but each case requires careful analysis of deadlines and documentation. It is crucial to strictly follow immigration laws, consult reliable sources and specialists to avoid scams and ensure a safe and effective process.
