203 A2A Minor Child of LPR (IR5)

Prioity Date: June 03, 2015

Reciept No.: WACxxxxxxxxx

Got a text on June 23, 2015 that all 3 cases Approved for all of my mom-inlaw 3 children ages 20, 18, & 13. The Child with age 20, she will be 21 in Sept, is she going to be in F2B category or since Cases already Approved, she will still be F2a category even if her age passes the 21?

Now, what is my mom inlaw next step? When can she call to NVC for Case # and IIN#?

Thanks.

According to the current visa bulletin http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html category F2A with a priority date of 15 Dec 2013 are being processed. When the children's priority date comes current in about another year or so then processing on the cases will continue.

So this Approved cases does not mean anything? I'm concerning about the 20yrs old turning 21 in about 2 months. Will her case be fall under F2B after/over 21yrs old evem thought her case approved by USCIS (NOA2)?

Cspa modified age is the one that counts, most likely over 21

Hi,

Age in the family preference categories (F1, F2a, F2b, F3, and F4) is determined at the time the Priority Date becomes current. Age is not determined when the I-130 is filed or approved.

Once she turns 21, she will age out into the F2b category. CSPA would offer relief if her CSPA age is under 21 when the PD becomes current in the F2a cateory. If her CSPA age is over 21 when the PD becomes current, then she will remain in the F2b category.

There is nothing that can be done. Mom's next step is to wait. There is nothing to contact the NVC about.

Best of luck.

P.S. This is not an IR5 case. IR5 is for the parent of a USC.

Approval of the case does not freeze her age. The time that it took to approve the I-130 is important to determine CSPA protection.

Give me some dates, and I will help you. I will tell you when her PD has to be current by for her to benefit from CSPA.

1. Her birthdate.

2. Her PD

3. Date I-130 was approved.

Just to double check; Is LPR mom (your mother-in-law) the one who petitioned for the 3 children?

Hi,

Just looked at the dates in your first post.

PD: June 03, 2015.

Approval of the I-130: June 23, 2015.

This means that CSPA will protect her for 20 days.

Her PD would have to be current by the October 2015 or November 2015 Visa Bulletin for her to benefit from CSPA and retain the F2a category.

The August 2015 Visa Bulletin shows the current PD for the F2a category is December 15, 2013.

It's extremely improbable for her PD to be current by October or November 2015. She will age out into the F2b category and CSPA will not help her.

There is nothing that mom can do.

Sorry.
