I'll be a permanent resident for 5 years 2 months from now. For the very first question, "What is the basis for your eligibility?" which option is the right one to choose? 

Option 1. I am at least 18 years of age and have been a lawful permanent resident of the United States for at least 5 years.

Option 5. Other (Then just write the explanation)

Your age should have frozen when you submitted the DS-230. As far as I know, the passport and birth certificate aren't needed until the visa interview.

The date the petition was accepted is the same as the priority date. You should contact your grandmother to find out what these dates are, though it shouldn't affect you because you were under 21 when you submitted the visa application.

Thank you so much for your fast reply! Anyway, I PM-ed my grandmother last night and she already replied.

Receipt Date: March 16, 2001

Priority Date: February 14, 2001 (Date Immigrant Petition Approved)

Notice Date: January 20, 2004 (If you don't mind me asking again, what is this date for? I was searching it on the net but failed to get the appropriate result.)

Now I just need the Date Immigrant Petition Filed (I PM her again today and just waiting for her reply). Still, I want to thank you again for clarifications.

Hi! I am from the Philippines.

My father has been petitioned by my grandmother which included my siblings and I (F2b category). He was supposed to be interviewed last September 2011. Unfortunately, it was postponed since he was not medically cleared and has to continue consulting medical treatment for 6 months. I am turning 21 this March 2012 and his medical treatment will end on April 2012 + 1 month rest so his new schedule for the interview will probably be on May 2012 (I am already 21 years old that time).

I went to US Embassy Manila last January 2012 to file for CSPA and the only requirement requested from me was filing a DS-230 application . Then today, I've read from the net that aside from completing and submitting an application for immigrant visa application (DS-230 Part I and II), valid passport and birth certificate are also included. My question is, do I have to go back to there and submit a valid passport and birth certificate?

In addition to that, I am also having troubled understanding the calculation for CSPA. I don't have any idea where I can find the numbers (2) Date Immigrant Petition Filed (Is it the same with PD?) and (3)Date Immigrant Petition Approved.

Please somebody help me. Thank you!
