Greetings all, I have been noticeably absent, and for several very personal reasons. My reasons are no reflection on this forum. Perhaps, I can do a later posting in regards to my not posting, and a bit of history. I'm returning to this forum for a request for information. The question revolves around the final "drop dead" age of a possible step daughtter and her immigration to the US. I performed a search and located this link for finale age of 21. Here is the link: http://candleforlove.com/forums/topic/46846-k2-age-out-and-aos/?hl=%2BAge+%2BLimits+%2BChildren&do=findComment&comment=626835. It gave information of 21 (22 prior to adjustment, etc.), and this was for a K1 & K2. If all works well I will be pursuing a K3 & 4 visa. Questions: 1. What is the official "drop dead" date of a Chinese step child from China for a K3 visa? 2. If it is 18, is this age open to waivers? My thanks to all in advance. Dave
