Hi,

F1 is for adult children who are over 21. How come you were not F2A, when petition was filed? Who filed it?

your grandmother can't file for you. it have to be your parent and you are a derivative of their petition. it all depends on when the filing was approve and then they take inconsideration your age when a visa become available to apply cpsa to it

base on my understanding your age freezes when its approve and then its subtracted from your actual age when a visa becomes available. visa bulletin is slowing down now. it can still apply to you since you will just turn 21 if it become current early next year if vb picks back up.

Jamaicankim is right, you should ask your mother, when your petition was approved, usually it took 2 years to get approved, so add 2 more years and till 23 you'll be fine.
