Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Re: Converting ''v'' visa to green card

There's no conversion. The reason a person has a V visa is because another close family member has petitioned him already for a green card. Depending on who petitioned for him, if he turns 21 then he would not qualify anymore. If a person's parents petitioned directly for him or her three years ago, the waiting list for sons and daughters over 21 is currently at least 9 years before they can adjust to a green card.
