Child Aging Out? CSPA may help

[Montz 0]

I need couple of information..

1.What's actually the date of immigration petition became current? Is this the date same as the Priority Date given on the approval notice letter?

2.According to the CSPA age calculator, length of my immigration(F2A category) petition pending time was 11months and 3 days, but I couldn't find anyone else with this much shorter pending period. And they approved my case and forwarded it to NVC back in May, 2006 after we showed USCIS all the proofs of relationship between me and my mother who is U.S. LPR .. and the case was filed on June 2005. My birth year is 1986.

3.According to the CSPA Age Calc, only if I am correct about the #1 thing that I mentioned above, my age for CSPA purposes is showing as 18 years 8months 23days. So it seems like I am almost 2years away from my 21st, and when we called NVC regarding this matter.. they are saying stuff like I'm not eligible for the CSPA. Is there anything we should do about it?

Please help me out with corrections and suggestions, and thanks a million in advance!

1.What's actually the date of immigration petition became current? Is this the date same as the Priority Date given on the approval notice letter? No. Your petition does not become current on the Priority Date. The Priority Date ("PD") is when USCIS receives the petition for you. The PD becomes current at some future date (many years later) when a visa becomes available in a particular category. The current PD for the F2A category is Aug 15, 2005 for beneficiaries in most countries and June 15, 2003 for Mexicans. See the visa bulletin; http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin...letin_1360.html

My birth year is 1986. You did the calculation wrong. The day your PD became current in the F2A category is Nov. 1, 2009.

From the information you supplied. Your real age is 23 years old. The time it took USCIS to approve your petition is 11 months and 3 days. Your get to subtract the 11 months and 3 days from your real age on Nov. 1, 2009 (date your PD became current) to determine your CSPA age. Your CSPA age will be over 21. CSPA will not apply to you.

When i-130 filled? : June 2005

When you received approval? : May 2006

your pty date? : At first I thought it's actually the date given on the approval letter which was on June 2006, but I just got know from Aaron2020 that I did the calculation wrong, It's actually on Nov 2009 which is just couple days ahead and that's how I aged out for the CSPA purpose.

Your get to subtract the 11 months and 3 days from your real age on Nov. 1, 2009 (date your PD became current) to determine your CSPA age. Your CSPA age will be over 21. CSPA will not apply to you.

Are you sure there's gonna be no other ways in my case? It's just the matter that's bothering me right now is that I didn't even have a single piece of clue about this CSPA rule while I was aging out and then finally aged out. I just heard about it few days back *sigh*.. Anyway, thanks a lot for correcting my wrong CSPA calculations.

More i study about CSPA, more i get confused.

I believe CSPA applied for both:

1. US Citizen (or who become US citizen in the process) and

2. Permanent Resident (Green card holder)

My mom is a permanent resident since 2006 living in Los Angeles, CA. She filled I-130 (2A Category) (Unmarried child under 21 of Permanent Resident) for my sister who is living in Bangladesh. But she is age-out due to the lengthy process of USCIS. Bellow is the detail:

Her (Principle Applicant) Date of Birth: September 1988

Filed I-130 on February 27, 2006 (Priority Date) (She is 17y, 5m)

USCIS Receipt date: March 3rd, 2006

After 3 years and 1 month-

USCIS approved her case on: March 27th, 2009 (She is now 20y 6m)

After 9 months-

NVC visa became available on: January 1st, 2010 (She is now 21y 4m)

Received notice from NVC on Jan 8th, 2010, requesting 70$ for Affidavit of support fees and choice of agent)

(In the notice, NVC also informed me that "Children who pass 21 years of age after the petition was originally approved by the USCIS become ineligible to accompany or join the applicant immigrating to the United States under the original petition. In some situation, the Child Status Protection Act may allow children to remain eligible beyond 21 years of age. If you believe that the CSPA applied to this case, please send a detail explanation to the NVC. We will forward it to the U.S. Embassy for a decision".

According to my calculation (By using the formula), even though she (My sister) is over 21 years of age now, under CSPA law- she is now just little over 18 years old.

My main question are:

1. Is CSPA applied for my sister since my mother is just a permanent resident (LPR)?

2. How CSPR effects differently if the parents

A. US Citizen?

B. Lawful Permanent Resident?

For question# 2, i found-out from "2009 American Lawyers Association" that- CSPA freezes the age of children of US Citizen's (IR's) on the date I-130 petition filed. On the other hand- CSPA freezes age of the children of LPR's (2A's) on the date priority date becomes current for the 2A category. If this is true- there are huge difference in-between two. This way- LPR's are not getting any benefits from the time they've lost for USCIS's lengthy processing time.

Thanks all in advance for your valuable time and thought.

Hi...

My father and our family was petitioned by my uncle (US Citizen) back in 1987. I was born on 1989 and the petition was subsequently updated.

I'm not sure what date it was approved though (we live in the Philippines). Last year, around October 2009, the petition became current and we would finally be able to apply. However, my 2 older brothers were not there anymore since they are 24 and 26 already at that time.

I'm 20 right now and i'm turning 21 this February 11. Our interview at the US Embassy would supposedly be on Feb 3 (Wednesday).

I'm wondering, do I really have to go to the US before I turn 21? I think there's a possibility that I won't get the VISA that fast and besides, I'm currently enrolled in college. I can't just leave my studies.

Also, is there a possibility that my brothers may still be eligible for US immigration despite ours being on the last step already [interview]?

Thank you. I hope to get feedback on this matter Much appreciated!
