My kid was approved i30 and his case was ent to NVC 3 last year. but he is turning 21 in November. August Visabulletin moving the filing date to June 24, so i think in August we finally can fill DS260. BUT my question, since final action still not current as his priority date in November 2023, is it beneficial to to pay and file the application? or he will age out if visa does not become current by november ?

 

i heard that once you are able to file DS260 and pay the immigration fee, it freeze the age? is that right?

Assume this will move to F2B

Your PD is Nov 2023?

Paying fees doesn't freeze his age. His category will automatically change to F2B. 

Just curious, when is the petitioner eligible to naturalize? What's the citizenship of the other parent, if any?

Age is frozen when the visa is available (when the PD is current) and the applicant seeks to acquire.  The applicant (your child) will complete the seek to acquire but the visa number is not available.   Therefore, the child keeps aging until the visa is available.
