Family One
Unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens:
The son or daughter must be unmarried
at the time the petition is filed and continue to be
unmarried at the time of entry into the United States or,
if already in the United States, at the time of
adjustment to "lawful permanent resident" (Green
Card) status. Where an immediate relative has been approved for a
"child" and the child reaches the age of 21,
the. petition is automatically converted to
Family One. Where there is an approved Family One petition and the son
or daughter
marries, the petition is automatically converted
to Family Three. The Family One waiting period
is over ten years for Mexico, over 24 years for the Philippines,
and
at least four years for most other
countries.
