Hi, I am in the middle of processing my adjustment of status in the US. My daughter is a USC and was the one who petitioned me. I have a scheduled interview date coming and my concern is, my other child is undocumented (over 18 years). How will this impact my green card application? Will the officer ask about this? I am not only worried that this may cause the denial of my green card application but it may also cause the deportation of my other child. Please advise..
 
USCIS does not inform ICE of undocumented family members listed on green card applications, and they also do not deny green cards based on another family member being unlawfully present (unless there is evidence that the applicant committed immigration fraud in order to help the relative to enter or stay in the US).

If other child is still younger than 19 years, he/she can escape the 10 year ban and obtain a green card outside the US based on your petition (once you get your own green card), if he/she leaves the US soon enough.
