Hi arken 

PD is not current, 

age is less than 21 years 

filing date is current 

Yes my bad. Very likely it'll move next month when the new fiscal year begins. In any case, even if the PD becomes current in Sep 2022 when he is 22 years old, he will still be able to immigrate. No need to worry.

My Grandson turned 21 after I filled his case (Filling date was April 2021, and all documents are approved on that date)

He turned 21 in September 2021, 

I still see his name in CEAC, and all his documents are approved.

Will his case be dropped?

What shall I do 

 

Thanks

Calculate his CSPA age. For date when petition became current - input the date of the NVC welcome letter.

Need to know:

 

-when the F-3 petition was filed (I-130),

-when USCIS approved the I-130.

-when you completed the NVC applications.

-when the visa became current.

For the last, the visa is still not current as of the March 2023 Visa Bulletin.  For F3, those with PD's before 22 Nov 2008 are current.  This typically meant that your grandson will age out between Feb 20, 2023 to March 21, 2023, depending on when in June 2010 USCIS approved the petition (date of turning 21 + 517 to 546 days).

 

HOWEVER and FORTUNATELY,  Your family is in luck.  On Feb 14, 2023 (a few days ago),  USCIS has updated their policy on CSPA age to base it on the Dates of Filing table instead of Final Action Date table.

Because your son is NVC approved on April 16, 2021, the seek to acquire date is on that date or before (when all docs were submitted).  Your grandson was naturally under 21 and also under CSPA 21 at that date and therefore qualifies.

Thanks for the great reply and promising news.

Do you have any idea when there will be progression in PD, it is stagnant since 2 years.
