Hi,
I would appreciate if somebody could help me with this question.
I filed I-130 petition for my son in August 2001. He was under 21 at that
time. He turned 21 in January 2002.
I just received an approval notice from INS for him as:
Unmarried child under 21 of permanent resident, 203 (a) (2) (A) INA
Tehe notice says that INS sent the notice to National Visa Center.
How soon can he file for Adjustment of Status or for a Immigrant Visa ?
He is over 21 now.
He is in USA at this time and is from Pakistan.
His priority date is August 2001.
I just checked the Visa Bulletin for January 2006 and it shows:
Family
2A* All Chargeability
15JAN02
*NOTE: For January, 2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available
to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 15FEB99.
2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants
chargeable to all countries EXCEPT MEXICO with priority dates beginning
15FEB99 and earlier than 15JAN02. (All 2A numbers provided for MEXICO are
exempt from the per-country limit; there are no 2A numbers for MEXICO
subject to per-country limit.)
