Does CSPA Apply To My Mothers Case?

[ahmeda16 0]

Hello everyone!

 

My aunt who is a US Citizen had sent in my mothers application as a "Alien Relative" as they are direct sisters with common parents. This was in June and the submission was sent. It had not been approved yet as it still holding a decision time of 7 months from today (October 16, 2023)

My question is that now that I have turned 21 over July. Will I still be applicable under my mom as a dependant minor? Am I covered under the CSPA having my age locked at the date and time of submission being 20 in June?

Another question I hold is that where can I find the general process after (if) our submission was approved?

 

My mother and I are both Canadian Citizens as she was born in Pakistan and I was born in Canada.

 

The field office is the California one.

Thanks for your time reading!

Most F4 cases are approved, with the I 130 you are just substantiating the relationship. Proving that your Aunt and Mother are Sisters. That your Aunt is a USC.

 

Usually they do not rush to approve the I 130s due to the decades long wait.

 

CSPA does not freeze your age, when the PD is current you can deduct the time it took to approve the I 130 from your then age but being over 21 now means you have no chance.

 

Hope that helps.

What about this quote from: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-a-chapter-7

 

"CSPA went into effect on August 6, 2002. Adjustment applicants are eligible for CSPA consideration if either the qualifying application (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485)) or one of the following underlying forms was filed or pending on or after the effective date: Petition for Alien Relative (Form I-130);"

 

Does this only apply for people who were only had their form approved? I am not sure about the language behind "adjustment applicants".

Thanks again for your time answering my question!

Adjustment is something you can do if you are in the US in lawful status and your Priority date is current.
