F2A Child Aging Out after interview

[mlopezPH 0]

Hello everyone, I have read about the CSPA and I am a bit confused. My interview was done this year at my 20th year of age and resulted in requiring additional documents.. All that is left to do now is to wait for my joint sponsor's tax forms which will come 1st quarter next year. However, my 21st birthday will be this January. Does the CSPA mean I can enter the US even if I am already 21 years old by that time? or, will I still get approved once we submit the joint sponsor taxes even if I am already 21 years old? Thank you!

Your CSPA age is locked.  You will be able to immigrate even if you are over 21.

 

You've had your interview at age 20, so your PD must be current.  Once your PD became current, your CSPA age was locked in as 20.  For immigration purposes under this case, you will always be eligible since your age is considered to be 20.

 

Good luck.

So the CSPA applies even if my petitioner is a permanent resident?

Do not spread misinformation. Your age only ''locks'' in if the petitioner is a US citizen. For permanent residents, You subtract the amount of time the petition was pending until approval from your current age. So if the waiting time was 1 year you subtract the 365 days.

Nice first post from a newbie.  Couldn't say hi.  Had to be nasty and show how smart you are.

 

For a newbie who joined last week, you may want to learn things before you make accusations.  
 

Search VJ for all the CSPA advice that I have given over the years.

 

I know CSPA better than you.  

Please let me know what I posted exactly was misinformation.  Please dig yourself a bigger hole around here.

CSPA age for family based petitioner locks when the child seeks to acquire, within one year of visa number becoming available. (You entirely missed out mention of the priority date importance above.) As this beneficiary  already had the interview (seek to acquire is satisfied before that already with submission of DS260) this requirement was clearly met so yes this poster’s age is indeed locked in below 21 for CSPA.  @aaron2020is correct, and you are the one spreading misinformation... 

 

(The reason you are confused is that a citizen’s child age locks immediately on petition filing as the visa number is available immediately, whereas LPR child has to wait for priority date. The principle is however exactly the same, age locks when visa available.)
