Child Status Protection Act - Section 3
Hello,
I'm a derivative beneficiary of a Family Based Immigrant Visa Petition
under F4 Category. But they were not able to issue me a visa because I
was over 21 years old when our priority date became available.
I've search the website of travel.state.gov for CSPA (Child Status
Protection Act) to get more information. And I have found this:
Child Status Protection Act of 2002: ALDAC #1 (8/26/02)
http://travel.state.gov/visa/laws/telegrams/telegrams_1429.html
This is from the visa telegram:
`(3) RETENTION OF PRIORITY DATE- If the age of an alien
is determined under paragraph (1) to be 21 years of age
or older for the purposes of subsections (a)(4) and (d),
the alien''s petition shall automatically be converted to
the appropriate category and the alien shall retain the
original priority date issued upon receipt of the
original petition.''
My parents are now in the US and received their green card. I want to
know if my parents filed a petition for me under F2B - Unmarried Sons
and Daughters of Lawful Permanent Residents then I should be able to
retain our original priority date?
I hope the Child Status Protection Act will be able to help me. OK this
is all for now.
