    I am aged out but my name is on the NVC online portal

    Hello Everyone,

    The problem i am facing is a bit weird.

    According to to CSPA calculation i am aged out by 4 months. I am 27 right now. But when NVC sent the welcome letter (F$ Category) their was my name on it with my two siblings and parents. Then we all submiited the DS forms and payed the fees without any problems. As it stands now all the documents have been accepted and we are just waiting for the interview date. My question is that if CSPA age is calculated at the interview? If so can i be denied due to my age at the interview? If that is the case why did they not let me know before hand when i was filling the forms and paying the fees.

     

    Thanks i would really appreciate if someone could answer these concerns.

    Any update on your case?

    NVC accepted CPSA protection before priority date became current

    I am writing this as new information I learned with NVC and CPSA based upon my recent CEAC electronic submission of IV Fees, Application, Affidavit of Support and related civil and financial documents.

     

    By research told me the NVC would only consider calculating and applying the CSPA age (for a unmarried child under 21 years visa) after the beneficiary's priority date became current and a visa was thus available.  The big problem was that NVC was automatically looking at the "over 21 years" current visa class availability (which is many years longer) if the principal applicant's real age was over 21 years.  And if the CSPA age was "under 21 years", I read how petitioners needed to learn to petition the NVC to get NVC to do their job and calculate the CSPA age when the "under 21 years" visa class availability was current.  Several petitioners commented on getting their congressmen involved with NVC.  It appeared that the NVC would only do the CSPA age calculation when the "under 21 years" visa class availability became current, not before.

     

    So my recent CEAC electronic submission story with new information about NVC and CPSA follows:

    1) The USCIS approved petition was for a F2A (or F22 - unmarried child under 21 years)

    2) NVC CEAC created the case with a F22 visa classification shown on the status page.

    3) Paid the fees and submitted all the forms.  Right after electronic submission of the IV Application that contained the principal applicant's birth date, I noticed that the NVC CEAC status page had changed the visa classification from F22 to F24 (unmarried son/daughter over 21 years) because indeed the principal applicant is over 21 years old.

    4) Even after finishing the electronic submittal of documents, I was able to add two documents that explained that the CSPA age of the principal applicant is 8 months before 21 years at that moment in time ... and that there is an extremely high probability the principal applicant's priority date will become current before 8 months from that moment in time.  I asked for CSPA protection for the principal applicant and for the NVC CEAC visa class to be changed from F24 (over 21 years) to F22 (under 21 years).  I also wrote an email with the same requests via the askNVC webpage.

    5) About 5 days later, I got an email back from the askNVC staff saying that my email was being sent to the correct department for further consideration.

    6) About 4 days later without receiving any notification, I checked the the NVC CEAC status page and the visa class was put back to F22 (under 21 years) and all the electronically submitted documents were marked off as "Accepted".  This included the documents that asked for CSPA protection for the principal applicant. These CSPA related documents were made part of the case documents and "Accepted"

     

    The really big improvement here compared to what my research was saying about NVC and CPSA protection is that the NVC has now officially given CPSA protection to my principal applicant BEFORE the priority date has become current.  Now, we have the NVC correctly watching the F22 class visa availability (as they should be) as our principal applicant's priority date becomes current for the F22 class in a short amount of time from now.  The day the principal applicant's priority date becomes current and the principal applicant's CSPA age is under 21 years, then the principal applicant's CSPA age becomes frozen for a year as the immigration visa process continues. 

     

    So if you have a CSPA situation, it appears that NVC electronic system will work for us now when asking for CPSA protection before the priority date becomes current for the "under 21 years" visa classes.

    Reading through this. I'm glad everything worked well!

    Giving people false hope in situations like this can be costly. 

    Yeah I know. :( I completely agree.

     

    but the process has already cost me so much in the first place. 😂

     

    They made me pay the fees, go through the medicals... even scheduled an interview!

    It's crazy. Only to find out I don't qualify for the cspa.

     

    But at the same time, getting people's opinion and knowledge about this case gives me a heads up. So that I'd know what to expect. :)

     I'm grateful for all the replies here. 

     

    Cheers!

    They don’t “let it go”. Either your CSPA age is under 21, or it’s not. I’m not sure why it took you that long to understand but anyway there are calculators online too. 

    I agree, they won't just let it go. It is the law and there's requirements to qualify.

     

    There are things people take time to understand. We all don't have the same level of understanding. I think that's why this forum was built in the first place. :)

    They will not let it go.  

     

    The law is the law.  The CO is not allowed to break the law.  The CO is not going to let it go when the law clearly says the aged out beneficiary is not eligible for a visa.  

    I understand what you mean. I'm sure she said it to cheer me up, not to keep my hopes up. :)

    Lol look at the PD and what was the USCIS estimate approval time for that period. It has nothing to do with date of birth. 

     

    Ironically, if OP's petitioner applied a few months later than he did, OP would've had a much longer waiting for approval, and therefore made it, just like your son. So you see, there's no purpose in USCIS actions. You just benefited from the longer, more scrutinizing procedures.

     

     

    I wish they did wait a bit longer :(... haha. Anyhow, we know how mine's going to turn out. 

     

    it will probably suck 10x more hearing it from the consul. lol

    Thank you for asking.  The medical exam process and US Embassy interview all went smoothly.  CEAC says that F2A visa "ISSUED" today April 5th.

     

    I want to say that USCIS went out of their way to hold off from approving the beneficiary's petition for 20 months.  During that time, the beneficiary's age was frozen.  When F2A visa became available, beneficiary's CSPA age was 20 years and 10 months.  IMHO, this F2A visa to have our family together was because of USCIS "helping" legal immigrants.

     

     

    That's good news! I'm excited for you and your family. :)

     

    I'm still hoping for the best for my case.

    My son's US Embassy interview for F2A visa is tomorrow April 4th and his CSPA age as of April 2019 (the month that F2A visa became available) is 20 years, 10 months.  Really close to 21 years !!!

     

    We knew it would be close ... so preemptively last October 2018 when uploading all of the documentation to the NVC CEAC website, I also added a document that requested CSPA protection and I added the CSPA calculator results for the expected visa availability month of April 2019.  The next day after uploading all of the documents, the visa class on the CEAC website went to F2B because my son is older than 21 years and was locked out of being to submit any more documents.  I then called NVC and got some great advice that worked well.  The lady said to do a "Ask NVC" email through the following link:

     

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

     

    and request that my file be reviewed with regards to CSPA protection for the F2A visa class.

     

    I got an email back in two days that my "Ask NVC" inquiry was under review. A week later I noticed the CEAC website update the visa class to F2A. Then, 3 weeks later in November 2018, we got an email that my son is "documentarily qualified", and the previously uploaded CSPA protection request letter was "accepted" as well as all of the other required documents.   

     

    Then on March 15, 2019, the April 2019 visa bulletin came out with my son's visa becoming available in April.  A few days later on March 19, 2019, we got an email saying that our US Embassy interview was scheduled for April 4, 2019.  Very impressive !!!

     

    So this is an example of how to get successful CSPA protection and the NVC system working seamlessly.

    How did the interview go? :) Hoping it went well x

    I looked your case up in google and I found a few stories like yours. It appears to happen every so often.

    So expect anything - they might call you next week and cancel the interview, or move you to f2b on the spot. It's too bad.

    😕

    Hey, thanks for looking that up! I was up all night trying to look for a similar case as mine but couldn't find any.

     

    At least I know what to expect. :) Thanks a lot

    They will if and when they find you eligible. Don't expect a charity visa.. you'd be sorely disappointed if that's what you're hoping for. 

    Yeah, no. That's not what I was hoping for but rather find similar cases like mine. I'm already disappointed as it is (aging out from CSPA) haha

    You are not ineligible, you just aged out despite the cspa protection. Go to the interview, see what they'll say. You will be probably moved to f2b, not denied. 

    Will do. :) I just find it weird that they let me go through all these medicals and fees when they'll just move me to F2B and make me wait a little longer.

     

    Do you think there's any chance they'd give me visa anyway? 😂

    Why do you think you're ineligible?

    I have used the formula countless times and it came out 21 and above. 

     

    I've also shared my PD, DOB, Approval of I130 here before and they also tell me the same...

     

    PD 10 Aug 2016

    DOB 04 Oct 1996

    Approval 13 March 2017

     

    ...that's why I am so confused how I got to this point (waiting for my interview next week) without hearing from NVC about their review on my cspa.

     

    It's just weird. If they're gonna deny me on the interview, might as well tell me right now lol

    My PD was Aug 10 2016

    F2A for unmarried child under 21 doesn't freeze the age. It only apply to US citizen child for IR2 visa.

     

    The date for your I-130 petition approved is factor in the CSPA calculation.

     

     

     

    Thanks for clarifying!
