Thank you! Is my math correct? He hasn't aged out and his case will become current next month?

Does my stepson now qualify to interview for an F2A?
-
My Russian LPR wife filed an I-130 petition for her son on 8/19/24. The petition was approved 8/28/25. My stepson's 21st birthday was 10/22/2025. With CSPA, I calculate he doesn't age out until 10/31/2026. Did I calculate his age out date correctly? I just checked the June Visa Bulletin and the F2A final action date is 1/1/25. If I calculated his CSPA extended 21st BD is correct, he has not aged out and his case is CURRENT. Is that correct? I have filed his DS260 and the required documents. Once his PD becomes current next month, do we need to do anything? Or does the NVC automatically start working on it? I realize they aren't actually issuing Visas, so that won't happen until later. But I am hoping someone here will confirm that his case is current and tell me what we should be doing, if anything. Once it is current, what effect does a FA date retrogression have on it, if God forbid that would happen? TIA.

It is certainly not a forever thing, but no telling how long it will last.

@appleblossom You've been very helpful answering my question and others here so I have an additional followup question. With the tremendous movement in the Visa Bulletin, there is a better chance my stepson might not age out before he is eligible for final action. My question is about becoming "current". You commented in another thread that once an F2A applicant is current, he/she remains current and can't age out. Does that apply to my stepson? If the Visa Bulletin final action date shifts forward to a date after our priority date of 8/19/2024, does he become "current"? Can he age out, if we don't have his paperwork in?

We got married 3/3/23 when the visa bulletin was CURRENT for F2A. 🥵 Our son was 18 1/2. Had we known it was going to change backwards so significantly, we would have gone the K-1 route.

My wife is a LPR and filed an I-130 to bring her stepson to the US. Here are the details: Stepson DOB: 10/22/2004 Priority Date: 8/19/2024 I130 Approval Date: 8/28/2025 CSPA added time, 1 year + 9 days. (I think I am calculating this correctly) Age Out date: 10/28/2026 (Again, I'm not 100% sure I'm calculating this correctly) Current Visa Bulletin Final Action Date: 9/1/2022 What I think all this means is unless the FA date in the Visa Bulletin advances to later than 8/19/2024 in the next 13 1/2 months, he will age out and become an F2B case. Q1: Do I understand the dates and deadlines correctly? Q2: Is there anything we can do to prevent him from aging out? Q3: Should we consider an immigration attorney? Thanks!

They shouldn't be at risk and we have made plans to make the trip. I just wanted to check here to see if I was missing something.

My wife is a CR1 visa holder from Russia and greencard holder. Her daughter also has her greencard. They immigrated in August of 2024. They want to visit their home country this summer. They'll be gone about 3 months. I will travel with them outbound, but return early. The two of them will return in August. I see a prominent immigration attorney discouraging greencard holders from leaving the US. Is it a bad idea to for them to leave the country right now?

Please Recommend Service for Russian Tourist Visa

I can answer my own question! I asked on another forum and they recommended TravelVisaPro.com. I contacted them and so far I think they're going to work. -
I need to renew my 3 year Russian Tourist Visa. The service I used before is unable to provide the invitation letter. Can anyone recommend a service that can provide the letter as well as procuring a new 3 year Visa? Thanks!

My wife and I got married 3/3/23. She arrived in the U.S. in August of 2024. Her green card has an expiration of 8/17/2026. Should we wait until just before her GC expires to file the I-751? Or, since we've now been married 2 years, should we file it now?

Yes, it turns out all they (wife & stepdaughter) needed was a better picture. They got their green cards about 10 days later appointment. SS cards came first, about a month after arrival.
