CSPA Age

[valkyri3 0]

I hope this message finds you well.

Birthday: March 23, 2001.

The priority date for this case is July 6, 2021, and it was approved on August 28, 2024.

 

Currently, this case is classified as F24 on NVC, but it should be F2A, as my child was a minor at the time of filing and I think they might have miscalculated the CSPA age.
 

Can you help me calculate my CSPA Age?

Says August this year, so should still be F2A by my very rough calculations.

That’s what I think too but NVC has me in F24 category which I think is a mistake.

OK so you need to contact them and point that out. 

 

Good luck.

CSPA calculations on linked site does show he should be F-2 A..but their cut/copy function is disabled , so write it out and reference your format when you contact NVC

..and looks like VJ itself won’t alllow link to site..so GOGGLE is your friend for sourcing a calculator 😂

I'm in the same boat. Please update us once you contact NVC

You'll need to contact NVC. They very frequently will just go by actual age in the early stages of the process.

 

Anyways doing the math: 

DOB: 3/23/2001

I-130 filed: 6/6/2021

I-130 approved: 8/28/2024

 

Age at filing: 20 years, 2 months, 14 days.

Time I-130 was pending: 1180 days

Priority date was current on the date the I-130 was approved, so that's the visa availability date and CSPA age is currently frozen at 20yrs 2mos 14 days.

 

So you/your kid have until August 28, 2025 to file DS-260/I-485/I-824 to lock in the age.

 

Also, you shouldn't naturalize until after the kid is in US. Age at parent's naturalization overwrites normal CSPA age so that'd drop them into F1. Similarly they shouldn't marry until they're in US because marriage would kill such a petition.
