我侄兒5/13獲得K2 簽證，6/19 和母親一起入境美國，8/13母親結婚，8/26日移民局收到他們調整身份的I-485申請各一份。問題是侄兒今年 9/22 滿21歲。請問，這種情況下，K2的調整身份I-485申請能獲批準嗎？ 
-No. Because the K-1 holder (mother) married the US citizen petitioner after the child (K-2 holder) turned 18 years old, a legal step-parent/child relationship has not been established between the U.S. citizen and the K-2 child. Thus, the K-2 child is not qualified for I-485 filing and the child's pending I-485 will be denied later.

The child has to return to China after his I-485 is denied and the mother can file I-130 for him for F2B,  which takes about 7 years for priority date  to be current. The child can not get married before he get the immigration visa to enter US, otherwise the I-130 will be void.

 目前谘詢不同律師，說法各異，令人平添困擾。
