I-130 Critical situation due to the ageout 21 for my child

CSPA may or may not cover him depending on when i130 will be approved and if F2A stays current. OP can only hope F2A stays current.

F2A has been current for years and will remain current in November 2021, and if I-485 is filed while it's current a subsequent retrogression wouldn't cause an ageout:

"If the applicant filed an adjustment application based on the Final Action Dates chart, and his or her CSPA age at the time of filing the application was under 21, then the applicant’s CSPA age is locked in through final adjudication of the application."

Read the statement very carefully before drawing a wrong conclusion out of it. You are ignoring the key parameter of the cspa age, the i130 approval date. In short It says "if the cspa age is under 21 at the time of AOS filing, it is locked". In this statement i130 is already approved because you can only have cspa when visa is available and visa isn't available until i130 is approved (otherwise people would get GC even if i130 stayed pending and AOS approved)

 

For OP's son, visa isn't available just because  F2A is current unless i130 is approved. So visa is considered available the day i130 is approved or the day PD is current whichever is LATER. CSPA age is then calculated at the time of visa availability. So there is no cspa age for OP's son to get locked if i485 is filed in Nov if i130 is pending even if F2A stays current.

Arken is correct.

 

Also, F2A has been current for a little over 2 years, since July 2019 to be precise. I guess technically you could say that is “years”, but when you’ve been around a while, 2 years is still the exception rather than the norm. The litmus test is going to be what happens as embassies return to normal and can process the Covid/previously subject to ban backlog of F2A applications faster - I don’t think it’s at all unrealistic to expect a return to priority dates for F2A as that happens and they start dealing with the pentup demand, and it’s not outside the realm of probability that this happens before i130 approval.  So all OP can do is hope it is Nebraska  - the only fast approval center for F2A at present - and that it’s done in time.

(the parents approval for I-130 from May 2020 but Covid-19 and Executive Order 10041 delay the interview up to last month with expedite request). because that I have only the next four month to finish him situation. I know also maybe we can face any surprises in the future may good or other but let us do what we can and hope .

Why would you wait till November?

There’s nothing you can do if it’s not Nebraska. The best advice regardless of other circumstances, especially ones you have no control over (like which service center it’s at and how long processing takes) is to file everything as soon as you can.

Dear,

The SSN number is required in form i-864 and up to date has not been received the SSN or the GC . Is it permissible to apply through my previous sponsors in my i-R5 visa application (My US Citizen son and his uncle joint sponsor) without my form i-864.

They can be a co sponsor, you will be the sponsor.

On form I-864, the social security number is required and I still didn’t receive it since I was admitted to US on September 24,2021. Is it fine to submit the I-864 form without the social security number.

You should have received it by now. Contact your local SSA office.

No, SSN is a must for the sponsors. There is no rush for i864/AOS, you can wait for SSN rather than getting it rejected or rfe'd or straight denial. If your SSA office accepts walk ins, go and apply in person.

 Will wait and hope to receive it soon.

If there is no record of your SSN application (initiated by CBP) by this time, I suggest you make an appointment to apply for it in person. Don't ask about anything. Just tell them you want to apply for a SSN. You don't need a GC to apply for it. Your POE stamped visa is good enough.

Contact SSA again and ask for a supervisor if needed. The endorsed IR-5 should be enough for them to schedule an appointment for you to submit SS-5 form.
