我侄儿5/13获得K2 签证，6/19 和母亲一起入境美国，8/13母亲结婚，8/26日移民局收到他们调整身份的I-485申请各一份。问题是侄儿今年 9/22 满21岁。请问，这种情况下，K2的调整身份I-485申请能获批准吗？ 
-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.

 目前咨询不同律师，说法各异，令人平添困扰。
