Will I lose eligibility as a child? (CSPA)

[Angelikaa 5]

Good Day everyone! 

 

Priority date: June 2, 2000

Became current on the visa bulletin: May 1, 2020

 

I turned 21 years old last July 3, 2020.

 

The petitioner emailed NVC about it and they said that I am eligible for CSPA (because I was still under 21 in May 2020) It will just depend on the consul during interview.

 

I read something here that I'd be protected as long as I submit a DS260 within a year after being current on the visa bulletin.

 

I submitted a DS260 last April 29, 2020. Became documentarily qualified last December 2020 and right now, we're just waiting for the interview date.

 

I'm just wondering because of all the backlogs and delays, what will happen after a year of submitting DS260?

 

Does that mean I might be considered aged out in April 2021 since it's already been a year when I submitted a DS260?

 

Thank you!

Assuminh you qualified for CSPA when a visa number became available, yes you will be protected by having submitted ds260 on time regardless how long thereafter it takes to actually issue the visa.

Stop worrying.  You will not age out.  You will ALWAYS be considered under 21 for this petition.

 

Answer hasn't changed since you asked on July 15, 2020.  

And when you asked on July 12, 2020.
