Aged out child

[AV53 4]

Hello,

I would like someone to help me with my sister's situation; her priority date just became current, but two of her daughters aged out, and their name is not on the welcome letter.

Considering that my mom applied for her when the kids were under 21 years old, are the kids eligible for CSPA Act?

I heard she could apply for them right after getting her green card with the same priority date she initially had; is this true?

I would appreciate it if anyone could help me understand this process.

 

Thank you

CSPA always applies.

 

New applications have new priority dates, are they single or married?

They are single 22 & 26 years old

I would think the 22 year old might have a chance, 26 maybe iffy.

I would run the numbers and see if they have or have not aged out

F2b it is then, as long as they do not marry.

This is for F3, and the PD is current?

 

So the petition was filed sometime before Nov 2008, correct?

 

I would not have thought USCIS would approved the I-130 within a year.  Some hypothetical dates/numbers:

 

- PD Oct 2008.  

- I-130 approved Oct 2012.

- 22 yr old is actually 22 and 11 months.

- Subtract 4 years from the 22 year old, the CSPA age is 18 years 11 months.  Qualifies to be derivative

- The 26 year old:  CSPA age is 22, does not qualify as derivative.

@AV53, you need to find the exact priority date and i-130 approval date.

The second part of CSPA is the "sought to acquire within one year" part, which for DOS generally means paying the IV fee within one year of the PD becoming current. This is what kills a lot of otherwise CSPA-eligible applicants.

the receipt date is Jan 22, 2010

the notice date is Feb 1st 2010 

PD date is  Jan 18, 2010

the kids were 10 & 14 bay then.

I guess approval date is receipts date?

 

Many thanks,

my question is the waiting time, the F2b category takes 5 years!

Probably longer than 5 years, as the category is oversubscribed. You can check the Visa Bulletin each month, but between April 2022 and April 2023, F2B has not moved at all and is still at PDs of 22-SEP-15.

This is confusing.

Your married (?) sister is being sponsored by your mother?

 

You said that her priority date just became current.  That is not possible because the current priority date form F3 is 8-December-2008.
