Should children of USC seek to acquire permanent residence within one year to avail of the CSPA?

Visas are always available for immediate relatives such as children of US Citizens (IR2), right? so do they need to seek to acquire? I am in a sticky situation right now. I am waiting for my visa appointment schedule. I am 21 years and 2 months old. Apparently, I did not seek to acquire

In the USCIS website, under the general eligibility criteria seeking to acquire is one of the criteria but on other websites and immigration attorneys pages they aid there's no need for IRs to seek to acquire. Please help. Thanks.

What do you mean with "seeking to acquire"?

Hello I'm really sorry if I'm asking too many questions and confusing myself apparently it's just that I want to be sure and I don't want to get my hopes up and then end up disappointed. This whole seek to acquire provision has really bothered me. Can u please shed some light? Thank you once again. You've been very helpful

To take your post literally, you are already seeking to acquire a visa that's why you submitted and paid everything during the NVC process. Final step is the embassy interview which is just around the corner.

The "within one year" part is from the first contact with NVC which you complied so really there's no issue. CSPA protects you because your dad filed your i130 when you were 19 and he's already a US citizen that time.
