What is Child Status Protection Act????

[muneebk 0]

My name Is Muneeb.My Maternal Grand Father Applied For our US immigration in November 2002.We have paid the Affidavit of Support fee which is 88$.

Now they have asked for Visa fee which is 404$ per person

In that letter it is also written that:-

CHILD STATUS PROTECTION ACT (CSPA) may allow children to remain elegible beyond 21 years of age.If you believe that CSPA applies to this case,pleasee send a detailed explaination to the NVC.We will forward it to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate for a decision.

My Eldest Brother is 26 years old.

We do not know what CSPA is

Can Someone please guide us.

And how should we present my brother,s case to the NVC???

What should we write in this case???

My Brother is doing CA and he has given his final year exams.If he goes with us then he can pay a lot of tax to the US Govermenet as well.

Sorry I do not know my Visa Category.

Waiting for ur response.

Thank you!!!

The Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) was signed into law on August 6, 2002. It was enacted in order to keep immigrant families united despite family-based and employment-based waiting times which can range up to 22 years or more.

Prior to CSPA, once a child turned 21 years of age, he "aged-out" and was no longer able to immigrate (or adjust status) along with his family. CSPA eliminates this problem by "freezing the age" of immediate relative children when their petitioning U.S. citizen parent submits a visa petition on their behalf; when a petitioning permanent resident parent naturalizes; or when a married son or daughter who has been petitioned by a U.S. citizen parent becomes divorced or widowed.

CSPA also creates a mathematical formula which allows the amount of time that a visa petition was pending to be subtracted from a child's age

CSPA is applicable to most persons who had visa petitions submitted on their behalf prior to August 6, 2002. Therefore, it applies to hundreds of thousands of persons
