    C56 reacted to HectorMR in CSPA Question   
    I want to add something new I just found, maybe someone knows a little bit more about this.

    In this scenario, my priority date from the F4 visa petition filed by my uncle for my father can be retained for my F2B visa petition, as long as my F2B petition is filed by my lawful permanent resident (LPR) father, not my uncle. This is known as retaining the priority date.
    This can help reduce my waiting time for a visa, as the priority date from the original petition can be applied to the new petition.

    I found this info over here:
    https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1153&num=0&edition=prelim

    It says: 

    So as I understand, this means that my father can file a F2B petition for me at the time of his interview with the embassy and I could retain my August 02, 2007 Priority Date which will be current on any future Visa Bulletin F2B.
    If this is true, I believe that I will not be able to travel with both of my parents right now, but I will be able to join them after lets say 1 year which I think would be the time to pay fees and submit a new DS260,  Civil Documents and new interview for this new case. 

    Is this correct?

    I'll appreciate any comments about this situation. Thank you so much.

    Yes, F2B does allow derivative children to tag along and CSPA does protect those derivative children from aging out. So the time the I-130 is pending is basically credited against the derivative's age. Other requirements like seeking to acquire permanent residency within 1 year of the priority date becoming current still do apply.

    Yes, derivatives may (you cannot say “will” unless you know all the relevant dates) be protected by CSPA, as are all derivatives who are otherwise eligible (that is, unmarried) of family preference categories.

    C56 reacted to SusieQQQ in F2B - Trump Proclamation Question   
    It’s a ban on entry for certain visa categories, which is effectively a ban on interviews (no point doing interviews if the visas will expire unused due to the ban especially when capacity is low due to Covid)
    All immigrant visa categories are banned except: spouse or child under 21 of US citizen and EB5 investor immigrant visa. Some people can get a national interest exemption example a qualified doctor who can help with Covid.
