Aging out

[droogs 0]

Hello,

My father (petitioner) applied an I-130 for my brother (who's currently under 21yo)

THe NVC asked for a joint sponsor, we will fill the forms asap but we don't know how much time it would take for them to schedule an appointment.

My question is my brother will be 21 yo in August, should we inform the NVC ? is there any precaution we can take in order for him to not age out ?

Age is locked under CSPA, assuming your father is a citizen.

If you are an immediate relative, a VAWA self-petitioning abused spouse or child of a U.S. citizen, or a derivative child of a VAWA self-petitioning abused spouse or child of a U.S. citizen, your age is frozen on the date the Form I-130 or Form I-360 is filed. If you were under the age of 21 at the time the petition was filed, you are eligible for CSPA and will not age out. However, you must remain unmarried in order to qualify.

Yes I read this, so it means that even if he did not get a visa appointment before August, he'll still be and IR2 right ? his case would be processed as an Immediate relative under 21 ? this what means the age will be frozen. we don't need to fill a form or something for that ?

I just wanna make sure in order not to neglect such thing ..

Thank you for your time.

It’s very clearly stated.
