Contacting NVC before turning 21 necessary being under IR2?

[Zyryab 12]

Hello everybody,

I'm the beneficiary of an IR2 visa, my father a US citizen filed for me back in August of 2013, when I was 20 years old, by the actual processing times of NVC, I know I won't have an interview before my 21 birthday which is this July, do I have to be worried about, or CSPA protects my IR2 status?

I've read USCIS CSPA description, but then I read NVC's info on DoS site stating that you should notify them if you're close to reach 21, should I mail/call them telling about my situation, or leave it how it is, relying that CSPA's "freezes" age on Immediate Relatives?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Under CSPA, your age was locked in when the petition was filed for you as an Immediate Relative of a USC.

There is no need to contact the US Embassy since your age for immigration purposes under this petition will be 20.

The reason for the warning is that it is a legacy from before CSPA when the minor children of USC would age out at 21 with no CSPA to freeze their ages.
