For example, ur pd gets current in March 2016, then u should get ur visa till March 2017 (bcoz time limit is 1 year)

No, there is no different process for cspa.........its same like ur principal applicant.......its just that initially ur name wont be there on ceac website, so u wont be able to pay ur fees and fillup ur ds-260 form.........but after ur parents' interview, ur process will be done if u r eligible under cspa when ur pd gets current......... i have explained this cspa process in previous posts.......just go through 5-6 previous pages, u will get an idea about the whole process........

No, its a myth that u shud be studying when u apply for visa under cspa.....no, its nothing like that............ CSPA law has only 2 points which u must suffice : (1) ur cspa age should be below 21 (2) u should be unmarried

that's it.......there is no point in this law that states that u must study...............so don't believe in what ur lawyer/agent tells u................

Ya... i-130 Form is the initial form which is to be submitted to the USCIS by your relative in USA...........

the receipt number may start from LIN or SRC or something other, it depends on in which state ur relative is living.....bcoz centers are different in every state i guess........ for example, those who have filed i-130 in Texas centre, the receipt number starts from SRC........

One more doubt

I checked on gcvisa.com . It shows my date will become current in jan 2018.

But as time for india is approx. 13 . It should be near march 2016. Please clarify.

Now I got clear picture. Thanks for guidance.

Hi Members,

In F4 Visa, Is Form I-130 the initial form that is submitted by relative in US?

And What is diff. If your receipt no. starts with LIN or M_?

Thanks

In june 2014, supreme court dismissed a part of cspa law....that is "priority date retention" ......... otherwise the cspa law still exists.....do not worry...... if ur cspa age is below 21 when ur pd gets current, then u will get ur visa for sure...and ya, as visa grant told that u need to apply for ur visa within a year after the pd gets current.......keep this in mind.......

There is always a chance, anything can happen.....but we cannot predict the future movement.........the movement is totally unpredictable...............

--------------------------------------X------------------------------------------------X-------------------------------X------------------------------------------------------------------

From which country are you ??

See, from all the family categories, F4 is the slowest of all in terms of movement.........

Right now, for Mexico, the current waiting time is 17 Years 8 Months 24 Days; For Philippines, the current waiting time is 23 Years 6 Months 10 Days; and for all other countries, the current waiting time is 12 Years 9 Months 17 Days................ Now you can imagine how slow this F4 category is.........Damn Slow........ and no one can tell u about future movement, the waiting time might increase or decrease..................

Hi Batman7,

I am expecting the priority date to be current in March 2016 approx. I didnt understand this term that i need to apply visa within 1 year(till mar 2017). Is that means i need to apply separately under CSPA. Will i not be considered with primary applicant.Or this is about general procedure that is followed for any F4 visa.

One more doubt, Is there any thing like i need to continue my studies till that time to be applicable under CSPA.

I don't have much idea on process followed, So i am confused on few points.

Thanks

Tara

Just to add more on batman's comment...CSPA benefit will only apply if the beneficiary and derivative beneficiary must contact NVC & apply for a visa "Within One year of the PD becoming Current". If you delay the case by two years either through Rescheduling your Interview Date also, then CSPA benefit will not be applicable eventhough if the CSPA age is under 21.........So, the beneficiary has to file within "One Year of the PD becoming current".

Good Luck

Thanks for info.I heard like supreme court has passed law in 2014 which makes CSPA no more applicable.So I was worried if CSPA still can help.

I have attached a screenshot with this message, have a look at that........it shows your cspa calculation..........u r eligible till May 2018 Bulletin.......that means that ur pd should get current till May 2018 bulletin in order to avail ur cspa eligibility.................and ur pd is 16 june 2003, so ur pd will definitely get current till then...............u will get ur visa under cspa.........good luck

Thanks for the update feeling little bit relaxed now
