Thank you appleblossom for your replies. I will write to them again and explain the CSPA calculation in detail. Do you recommend mailing a paper letter to NVC or using askNVC again?

This is what I sent them: Hello, I am an LPR and I have petitioned my daughter (I-130) on 8/9/2021 when she was 19 years and 6 months old. The approval notice from USCIS classifies my daughter’s case under the F2B category. Knowing that her priority date has already been current in the F2A category a few months ago, how can I seek CSPA relief and retain benefit in the F2A category? Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone, My mom is an LPR. She petitioned my sister (I-130) on 8/9/2021 when my sister was almost 19 years and 6 months old. Her petition was approved by USCIS and forwarded to NVC on 9/16/2024. The approval notice classifies my sister’s case under the F2B category. The priority date has already been current in the F2A category since June 2024. We received the welcome letter and logged onto CEAC to check her case status. NVC indicates that no further action can be taken now. I submitted an inquiry via askNVC about this matter and this is what I received: Currently, this case cannot be reviewed for applicability of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), as there is no visa number available according to this case's priority date and visa category. I consulted with an attorney who told me that there is nothing that we can do at this point. We need to wait for the NVC to send us an email to proceed with the application. However, I have found a similar case to my sister’s here in the forum where a member said that they shouldn’t have waited for NVC to take action, they should have sought to acquire an immigrant benefit within 12 months. How can we seek CSPA relief and retain benefit under the F2A category? How can we “sought to acquire”? Help please 🙏!
