Don't understand CSPA

[rgr1028 0]

My permanent resident mother-in-law petitioned her daughter in The Philippines. The priority date is 4/22/2003. The daughters dob is 7/23/1984. She was 19 yrs. old when the petition was filed. Does she qualify for CSPA?

Thank you in advance.

She can use CSPA to see if and how she can benefit from it!

There are too many possible scenarios for the mentioned case to give you examples. Some things also depend on when I-130 is approved and when PD becomes curent (which is not known at the moment).

Check the pinned post on CSPA at the top of the thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=110679

It has a calculator that will help you understand eligibility for CSPA. If application has not been approved, wait until it is approved to use the calculator, as otherwise, there are just too many unknowns. However, once you have an approval date, if priority date hasn't become current, you can enter different dates for priority date becoming current to understand when she will be 21. If you don't think the visa category is likely to move along at that pace for her to age out, start thinking of other routes she can come to US (e.g., marriage, student, work, etc.)

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information. I do have the approval date and will try the calculator.
