What is a N-9 visa ?
0
The N-9 visa is designated for the dependent children of "special immigrants," as well as the children of N-8 visa holders. A "special immigrant" is a legal category that mainly refers to people who have worked for qualifying international organizations, such as NATO. If a child's parent holds special immigrant status or an N-8 visa, and the child is under 21, they may be eligible to live in the US under the N-9 visa.
The length of stay for an N-9 visa is typically tied to the duration of the N-8 visa holder's authorized stay. Extensions are possible as long as the N-8 visa holder maintains their status and continues to meet the eligibility requirements for their visa category.
The State Department does not maintain a cap on N-9 visas.
