Help with CPSA Age Out Calculation for F2A Family Preference

Happy New Year fellow VJers.

 

Given the huge IV processing backlog at many posts, I'm concerned that my in law's F2A petition for their minor child will be at risk of age out given that the F2A benficiary turns 21 years of age on June 2023. 

 

Even being DQ'ed more than a year ago (Nov 2020) and F2A being current since Apr 2020, I'm not optimistic given the posts have deprioritized family preference IV's and will most likely have to submit an NVC expedite with the USEM procesing post 120 days before the benficiary turns 20 years of age on June 2022.

 

Can a fellow VJ'er or our resident expert @SusieQQQ help to validate that my understanding that CPSA will only protect beneficiary's F2A status for only 61 days (time between I-130 approval date and I-130 priority date) after the F2A beneficiary turns 21 years of age given that F2A has been technically "Current" back in Apr 2020 before I-130 was even filed?

 

Cheers!

I would not expect it to be an issue but no way of knowing

The child's CSPA age is locked in at under 21 because his PD is current and he has filed an DS-260 seeking an immigrant benefit.

The F2a category is current, even if a final PD date is established in the Visa Bulletin and his PD is no longer current, it doesn't matter.  Once his CSPA age is locked, it's locked forever for the purpose of that petition.

@aaron2020 many thanks for the helpful info.

 

Your answer seems to be consistent with the reply from @arken on a similar thread 4 months ago in the event that F2A continues to be current until IV issuance.

 

If I read the other thread correctly, it looks like @arken is stating that if F2A no longer is current when the beneficiary turns 21 (in our case June 2023) then CPSA will have to come into play (meaning the child's age might still face age-out issues)?

Not sure what the doubt is, the child you are talking about is under 21 years old, PD is already current, i130 approved and already seeking visa. So the age of under 21 is already locked no matter when the interview occurs.
