    That’s exactly what happened to me. After paying fees, scanning and sending documents to CEAC website and my daughter submitted the ds-260 and scanned and sent the required supporting documents on CEAC, I received an email that it was downgraded to F2B from F2A. Send an inquiry to NVC and request for it to switch back to F2A.  Keep an eye on when your son’s priority date gets current. Once it’s current it will be approved under CSPA as long as your son’s age is under 21 yrs old biological or CSPA adjusted age. There is a website for CSPA calculator. Be persistent with calling NVC or sending them an inquiry through  NVC website. 

    My sons case is different. We got the case no from nvc last tuesday and status is f24 and my sons name does not appear appear in the applicants name the only option i have is to pay the aos. I called nvc last thursday and the agent said the reason why my sons name does not appear in the applicants name because it's under review for CSPA. When i checked this morning, his name is there and i was able to pay IV fee. I was surprised that it took only 2days and didnt take 3-4weeks which is typical for cspa request.

    Well that is REALLY important information.  I started this thread thinking it was great that NVC gave my DS-260 submitted applicant CSPA before that F22 visa became "current" because many people were saying NVC would not do anything related to CSPA until the that visa was "current".

     

    Now you have a new FIRST that I know of:  the NVC reviewing CSPA for an applicant with a F22 visa that is "current" but the DS-260 not yet submitted.

     

    Please keep this thread up-to-date with your FIRST-OF-A-KIND progress.

    Just checked my son's status. It was changed to F22 and was able to pay IV fee.  I was surprised on how fast they changed it to F22.

    Petitioner files an I-864.  You file an I-864a as a Household Member of the Petitioner.   Your wife's income and your income will be combined. 
     

    If you and your wife do not meet the income requirement for your household, then you can use a Joint Sponsor.   The Joint Sponsor must make enough for her household and the intending immigrants. 

    Your mother as the Joint Sponsor would file her own I-864.  Your mother's income can not be combined with anyone.  

    If my mom lives with us, is it i864 as well?

    I will once updated. Question about aos. Petitioner is my wife, what type of aos form does she needs to fill-up? and me and my mom will be the co-sponsor, what aos form do we need to fill-up?

    Contact the NVC.  It's completely strange the you can access to pay his AOS for him but not the DS-260 for him.  It seems impossible to have a case for him where he can't file a DS-260.  

    Just got off the phone with NVC. They said his name does not appear because it's under review for CSPA and once it's been approved his name will appear in the applicants information. Thanks guys...

    Has you son's case been approved?  Did you get a fee email for him?

     

    His name doesn't appear because the case for your son is separate from the case for your daughter.  There is no reason for your son's name to appear on a separate case for his sister.  

    Yes, my son has a different case no and invoice id no. i already made payment for aos for him but not able to pay IV fee because his name is not in the applicants information unlike my daughters case(different case no and invoice no.) i was able to pay both aos and IV fee at the same time.

    Hello, it happen to my sister she's not listed on the applicant when we pay the AOS fees. I add her as an applicant. Everything is okay now. I was able to pay her IV and submit the ds-260. 

    I tried to add but that "add applicant" button only gives me derivative applicant option and not as principal applicant.

    "But  for my son(cspa) which is f24 i was able to pay aos fee but his name does not appear at applicant information but there's an option button "add applicant". "

     

    This statement does not make any sense. You should have two different case numbers for your son and daughter.  The CEAC page for you son's case number should show him as applicant.  If it does not, I do not know why and you have to call NVC.   

    Yup my daughter's status has no problem wand was able to pay the fees. But for my son, the only option is to pay the aos and blank for applicant info.20191114_102757.thumb.jpg.a87306b7826e13cbfb7f85cfb420346d.jpg

    For 1st quote above:

    You need to wait 2-3 business days after successfully paying the AOS fee before the Immigration Fee can be paid.  Then you wait another  2-3 business days after successfully paying the immigrant fee before you can click on the DS-260 application button.

     

    Do not call NVC for CSPA protection like in 2nd quote, I already have the NVC answer for this and posted this information in first post of this thread:

     

    AFTER you submit the DS-260 (because NVC cannot act until this happens), you make a "CSPA Protection Request" thru the AskNVC webpage:

     

    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html?wcmmode=disabled

     

    Make sure to give all relevant CSPA information (as you have already have done with your posts).  Wait at least 5-10 business days for a AskNVC response email that your "Request" has been forwarded to the correct department.  Then .... do not expect another email about visa class changed back to F22 ... just check CEAC online. This could take another 2-4 weeks.  You will get a NVC email that schedules a US Embassy interview.  Once visa class goes back to F22 and applicant is "current" (as they are), the interview scheduling happens within a month typically.

     

    Why is it for my daughter which is f22, i was able to pay both aos fee and iv fee at the same time. But  for my son(cspa) which is f24 i was able to pay aos fee but his name does not appear at applicant information but there's an option button "add applicant".

    Thanks for the info. Maybe i need to wait for NVC to change the visa class to f22. I already paid for aos but for him to submit his documents(ds260 etc.) I need to pay for it but theres no option to pay for it, maybe because NVC switched him to f2b.

  11. Maybe you guys can help me here's the time table. VISA class is f24 instead of f22. My question is I read some of suggestions that i need to file ds260 before requesting to adjust CSPA. But, how can i file ds260 if fee is needed and fee option is not available?

     

    Date of Birth : October 10, 1997

    Priority Date: July 15, 2017

    Approval Date: July 11, 2019

    Received Notice of Immigration Visa Case Creation from NVC: November 12, 2019 (NVC case number: MNL........)

    Actual age when visa became available: 21 years 9 moths 5 days

    CSPA age: 19 years 9 months 8 days

     

  12. So we got an email fron nvc that they have not receive the approval letter from uscis. It's been more than 3months.... Question is, should my son and daughter still covered by cspa as long as delay is not from our end? Please see time line below. Anyone knows how long will it take?

    Priority date July 2017

    Visa belletin status - F2A - Current

    July 2017 - filed I130 for children

    July 2019 - received approval letter for children from uscis

    Oct 2019 - Got an email from nvc that they have not received the approval letter from uscis and they requested to email them the approval i797(done)

    Daugters Date of birth - Jan 1999
    Sons Date of birth - Oct 1997 (CSPA)

    CSPA subtracts the time between when the I-130 was properly filed and when it was adjudicated (i.e. approved). So say it takes them exactly 12 months from filing to approval. This means they would subtract 1 year from the child's age.

    However, what matters is the child's age/CSPA-adjusted age at the time the I-130's Priority Date (PD) is current. This is based on the "Final Action Dates" chart from the visa bulletin. An under-21 child of an LPR would be F2A category.

    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin.html

     

    An I-130 can (and often is) approved before the PD becomes current. If so, the I-130 is sent to NVC where it will sit until the PD becomes current. There is a "Dates for Filing" chart in the visa bulletin, which determines when you can send additional documents to NVC for the approved I-130...but they won't actually be processed at NVC until the PD is current.

    http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

     

    Example:

    If the I-130 takes 12 months to process and the PD took 24 months to become current, then the CSPA-adjusted age of the beneficiary would have effectively increased by exactly 12 months.

     

    You don't need to file anything for CSPA.

    Gotcha. So the longer they approve the petition and the soonest PD becomes current the better? & it doesn't matter if processing got delayed at nvc as long as age was under 21 using cspa calculation, right?

    Gotcha.

     

    No, follow to join does not apply for you. You came to the US under the immediate relative category, which does not permit derivatives. As such, there is no ability to follow to join, as that's only for derivative beneficiaries.

    Another question. Lets say petition i130 was approved aug 2018 and pd becomes current july 2019. If cspa is in effect they are both under 21. Correct me if im wrong, cspa calculation is based on the time i130 was approved then minus it from the time pd becomes current and not the delay processing from uscis or nvc? Because i see some cases pd is already current but their case is still at nvc for processing waiting for approval. And aside from i130 do I need to file something for cspa?
