The beneficiary is 22 years and 7 months old. Deduct 2 years, 3 months and 13 days from his current age. That is his CSPA age. So if the PD became current today, the beneficiary would qualify for visa. However there has been a change in CSPA age calculations since last February. This allows the beneficiary gets to calculate his age based on chart B of the visa bulletin and age freezes if the date in Chart B is current! Although the change refers to all candidates, it was reported that this calculation is currently limited to AOS applicants. The visas processed by DOS do not allow this. If anyone has firsthand knowledge on this please chime in!

Agree AOS applicants have an advantage for CSPA locking once chart B is Current . This is one of the disadvantage of CP processing

Okay thank you. My pd was current when my i130 was approved in June 2022. I filled ds260 July 2022. Do I need to prepare some documents to show to the consular officer

My petition was filed on February 2020 when I was 19rs old and 4 months. My i130 got approved on June 2022 when my age was 22years 8 months. My i130 has been pending for over 2years and 4 months. I filed Ds260 in July 2022. From my calculations I will still be covered under CSPA. Do I need to carry certain documents to show to the CO at the time of the interview?
