Started sponsorship at 19, now I am over 21.

[BobMarks]

My brother started sponsoring my parents when I was 19, a year later we got disapproved, they reopened the sponsorship file when I turned 21.

My lawyer said that I am not gonna pass with my parents in sponsorship because now I am over 21 (I am 24).

But somebody mentioned that because the first time when my parents got sponsored I was 19 and in the file I am registered as a 19 year old. (and the 2nd time I wasn't over 21)

I'd like to know your opinion. Thanks.

unfortunately they will evaluate your file according to your present age.

There is a lock-in age of dependent children if they are under 22 when the application is received by immigration. As long as you do not get married, you will still be considered a dependent child.
