Interview at Mumbai Consulate: End of June 2024
My uncle filed a petition for my father, and I am a derivative beneficiary of this petition. I am currently in the USA on an F1 student visa. I recently completed my medical examination in India. Based on the final action date, the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) calculation indicates that I have aged out by six months. However, using the date of filing for the CSPA calculation, I am still under 21.
What options are available to me?
Is there a possibility for me to adjust my status while in the US on an F1 visa?
If adjustment of status is possible, what are the criteria? Do I meet these criteria? Is there any procedure we need to complete before the interview?
Do I need to cancel my interview? If yes, what’s the procedure? My file is already in Mumbai consulate and I already did my medical.
Should I accompy my parent in interview or try to do adjustment status ? What should my parent expect during the interview in terms of questions if I choose not to accompy them?
What are the chances of my application being rejected?
What risks should I be aware of?
My parents plan to visit the US in July and return to India after two months due to commitments. Will this affect my eligibility for adjustment of status?
I recently visited India (a week ago). Does this pose any problems? Is there a 90-day rule that could affect me?
