Would appreciate information/opinions on this one

This is about an acquaintance of mine who has applied for adjustment of status, and who like many of us has been blighted by the BCIS's inordinately slow process. His son turns 21 in a few months time, and he is very concerned about whether his son's application would remain valid or if his son would need to apply again, would become out of status, or worse, even ineligible to apply.

Would appreciate considered opinions on this.
 
Thanks, Frodo. The thread refered to by you says that the number of days it took for the I-140 approval would be added to the dependent beneficiary's age. Does it mean that the son's case needs to be approved before his age becomes 21 + number of days between I-140 application and approval? That in most cases would only probably add between 1-6 months. Or does it mean that the age factor is suspended once the 485 is applied for?

To be more specific, it is my understanding that in this case, the I-485 for both the primary applicant and the dependants were filed sometime in early 2001 and they (like many of the other poor souls who frequent these fora) have been stoically waiting since.

Thanks much again.
 
I am not sure on the specifics of the law, and wouldn't like to speculate! Howerver you mentioned that your friend has been waiting since early '01. I would suggest that he writes a letter of inquiry to the BCIS, and also mention about the age out. He should also contact his local senator/congressperson for assistance.
