Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

My dad is petitioning for his brother (my uncle) and by default, his family (my cousins & aunt). My cousin is over 21 as a result of aging out, but the petition was filed before she turned 21. Next year, she has to file as an independent on her tax return, because she no longer qualifies for dependent child/relative on my uncle's return. Will this affect her status as a child of my uncle for the petition purposes? Will she still be able to obtain a permanent resident card/apply for green card when/if the petition for my uncle gets approved?
