Just a question, are F2A allocated by countries? (I know China Mexico PI India have different ones) Or is the only factor by priority date?

My case is at NVC. I am the principal applicant being brought my lpr mother. My case status shows my daughter under my name on the NVC site as "follow to join", and IV fee, says "pay now". Do I need to pay that fee now, or do I remove my childs name at this time since she isnt coming with me at this time? Thank you.

Is CPSA automatically applied and calculated or does it need to be requested? If so, at USCIS or NVC?

I get Yes, I confused one rule with another situation. I believe I understand the answer to my question now. THank you all.

thank you 2. you mean the petitioner (also has to be a financial sponsor) needs to be in the US? Im guessing a joint sponsor could be out the country at the time of their arrival.

Thank you. So the LPR mother of the chidren and person who filed on their behalf (I130), does not need to be in the US at the time of their entry because they are not derivatives. Got it, thanks.

My question is about the physical presence of this statement : "When traveling to the United States, the primary (or principal) applicant must enter before or at the same time as derivative family members with visas." My example, The principal applicant enters the US in Jan 2020 as LPR. The parents files for children, that gets approved. Now the children are ready to enter the US Feb 2023. If the principal applicant is out of country during Feb, my question is the principal is required to be in the US at the time the children arrive? Or because they have been in the US, the parent is considered to have entered the US before or at the same time as the derivative family members?
