Yes, you might get another 60 days letter saying that they are still working on getting your a case an interview. Those letters used to be automatic before the pandemic. However, depending on how backlogged your embassy is, you might be able to get an interview at some point, this could be within a few months to a lot of months.

Wasn’t this discussed n your other thread? Yes.

Yes, but I didn't have the actual i-130 approval date, I actually called NVC and they gave it to me.

You understand that it can take up to a year to adjust, right? In some cases more like two years. Look up i485 processing times for your local office. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ 

I didn't know this part. This makes more sense in just going to the interview to avoid waiting up to  years.

Having said that, does CSPA applies to me?

You are basically dependent on your Parents case being approved, that could be sometime in the distance.

Yes, I understand that part, but if they get approved and I don't show up to the interview. Would I be able to adjust status after they enter the US, given the fact that I am still in the US due to school?

Just now, Boiler said:

Presumably this is your Parents case.

 

I would stay on F1 until you adjust or go through consular processing.

Yes, this is my parents case. I am a derivate beneficiary. 

Adjusting status would require me to let the embassy know that I won't show up to the interview?

Age out depends on visa availability date not interview date, so it cannot make a difference whether you interview at a consulate or do AOS. Also, you can’t adjust status as a derivative until the principal has both gone for interview and entered the US on their immigrant visa, and then who knows how many months it will take to get an AOS interview after that, so I’m not at all sure it makes any sense for you to wait unless you really don’t want to spend the airfare.

 

 

The risk is not getting approved due to CSPA, which I am assuming I should be fine on that end correct?, and being stuck at home without being able to graduate, and waiting to get a renewal on my visa.  That's where all my concern lies on. 

Hi everyone,

This is the current situation:

- Currently in the US with a f1 visa that just expired, but on status because my i-20 isn't expired , I have one more year until I graduate.

- Documents were DQ'ed in july 2020, I know this is gonna take a while before I get an interview if anything.

I am just concerned that since I am already over 21, the embassy can reject my petition due to age out: 

- DOB: April 4, 1995

- Priority Date: Nov 3, 2005

- i-130 Approval: July 7, 2009

- Visa Bulletin: April 1, 2019 

Someone already helped me here, and I calculated the CSPA age with an online tool and shows 20 years and a few months, but still my concern is there.  

I submitted my DS-260 on July 2019, so that meets the sough to acquire requirement.

I don't want to risk not being able to graduate if the application doesn't get approved for me. What would be the best course of action to avoid being stuck back at home and won't be able to graduate, an Adjustment of Status? or something else?

Thanks!

Yes re DS260. 
 

And yes, it should mean that assuming the calc is correctly done.

Appreciate your help! Thank you so much!

It is the first day of the month in which the visa bulletin is published with the PD as current in chart A. So if that was April 2019, the date you use for CSPA is 1 April 2019.  You did submit a DS260 before 1 April 2020, correct?

 

 

I submitted my DS260 in July 2019, so that means I met the seek to acquire requirement right? 
 

i also did an estimated calculation using 01/01/year that the I-130 was approved according to the case number and it seems that I’m still under 21, which means I’m CSPA eligible?

The fact is that your CSPA age cannot be finally determined until your priority date is current. NVC may be applying the current estimate but that’s not yet determinate. And we have seen plenty of reports here both of NVC leaving on people who have aged out, and taking off people who are still protected by CSPA. The onus is on you to do the final calculation. If your aunt has not kept all the paperwork, you can get some estimate of the approval date by looking at the approval year which will be the first 4 numbers of the NVC case number (after the three letter embassy code).

Thanks for the reply! 

There is one more question that I am wondering now. I don't quite understand when my priority date became current. I checked that the first time the date was over my priority date showed up on the final action chart was on April 2019. So, what should I put as the date when my priority date became current?

Hi, F4 derivative here.

So, I have been unable to get the approval date from the I-130 form from my aunt because apparently she doesn't know exactly what am I asking. My case, or my mom's case, has been on DQ since July 2020. I have been wondering about whether or not CSPA age will be applied to me. My older sibilings were taken out of the application by NVC as the application went on, except for me. I have called 4 times to the NVC asking if they calculated my age for me, and the 4 times they have said that yes, CSPA was applied to me. Should I trust the NVC on this? or should I keep trying to figure out my CSPA age?

You have to click and you wait a couple of minutes for the message to load.

I hope you have called NVC by now 

I received the email from the NVC the next day saying that the documents were sent to the embassy. So for now I will just have to wait until the ban is over

Hi all,

My case changed from reviewed to accepted on November 5, 2019. I haven't received any changes since that day and I was wondering if this is normal time processing because I heard that it doesn't take too long to be document qualified.
