Hi! mom is out of the picture 19 & 13

Apologies for the delayed response. Can we simulate a scenario? Let's assume my brother's PD becomes current on Chart A on Dec 2025. His PD is 27 August 2012. His PD becomes current on Chart B sometime Feb 2022 and we got an email on 24 Feb 2022 that he can submit his & his derivatives documents. There were several back and forth and finally got DQ'd on 30 August 2023. CSPA age = Biological age minus processing delay CSPA age = 20 years old & 3 months (Dec 2025) - 11 years (Aug 2012 to Aug 2023) CSPA age = 9 years & 3 months Is this correct?

I meant I'd have to check with my family for the details on that one too. Yeah, it does look like the eldest will make it but we're just getting anxious. I'd have to get the details on their I-130 submission. I'm not too familiar with that one as I didn't need that information when I processed mine. I needed the Priority Date and Case number.

Yes, both our parents are now U.S. citizens, so I believe his category is technically F1 now. I just checked Chart A for the F1 category, and it shows 15JUL12 for the July 2025 visa bulletin.

Hey, you're right. My brother is not married and has three kids. What's the priority date (i.e. when was the I-130 filed)? His priority date is 27 August 2012. I don't know if that's the date when I-130 was filed. I'd have to check with my family When was the I-130 approved? Same with this one What's the oldest's date of birth? September 2005 Was a DS-260 filed yet, if so - when? This is the form that they have fill out and complete right in order to be DQ'ed? If so, yes. They've been DQ'ed since 30 August 2023.

Hello! Do you mean "current" in Chart A for F2B? If so, yes — we received a notice to submit all the documents on CEAC and got a notice he's been DQ'ed. But if you mean Chart B, then no. I believe that's the one that needs to be current for them to receive an interview schedule. The Philippines

Hello everyone, My brother's priority date under the F2B category is 27 August 2012, and he was documentarily qualified on 30 August 2023. We've been waiting for his interview at the U.S. embassy, but the process is taking longer than expected. He has three derivatives, and the eldest will turn 21 in September 2026. We would like to take the necessary steps to complete and submit any required forms and documentation to ensure the eldest does not age out. I'm aware of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), but I'm unsure where or how to begin the process. Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Just wanted to report back and say that everything went well. I flew from Country B to Houston on June 2, 2025, and presented myself using my Country B passport and green card. The CBP officer asked where I had flown from and what I had been doing there. I had my re-entry permit with me, but didn’t need to show it.

Thank you @Dashinka and @EatBulaga I appreciate your response! Yes, I'll definitely bring all of my documentation as it's very worrying with the current state at the moment.

Hi - I've been a US permanent resident since October 2023. I am from let's call it Country A. I traveled out of the US in November 2023 to marry my long-time partner in Country B. When I traveled back to the US in November 2024, I was sent to secondary inspection and was asked why I had been away for almost an entire year. I explained that I got married. I also thought it was okay as long as it was less than a year, but it turns out the limit is actually six months or less. Anyway, I was allowed entry and reminded that I should have applied for a re-entry permit. I travelled outside the US again in December 2024 but before I left, I applied for a re-entry permit and submitted my biometrics. I received a notification recently that it has been approved and will soon be available for pickup from the US consulate in Country B. I became a citizen of Country B in December 2024 where I lived since 2017. My intention is to stay in the US and file a petition for my wife to join me, but it was practical to obtain my citizenship in Country B. I am currently applying for jobs, but I haven't had any luck yet. I prefer to secure a job first, as I'm supporting my parents and also have a mortgage. I have US bank accounts, a credit card, driver's license, investments, active US mobile phone number, etc. Would I have issues re-entering the US when I use my new passport (plus green card and re-entry permit) from Country B? Thank you all in advance.
