Child Status Protection Act
Child of a permanent resident and I-130 approved
Question details
I am a child of a permanent resident and I got a I-130 approved 2003 but I was under the age and still single never been married when that was approved. Right now I posses an Employment Authorization that I have been re-applying for since 2000. Can I apply for a permanent resident?
I am assuming your priority date is not current. If that is so, you cannot get your green card until all preconditions, including the priority date being current, are met.
Green card under the Child Status Protection Act
Question details
I have a friend who got his green card recently. His sister in law was the one who applied for the green card which was filed on October 1997. His son was 14 at that time. By the time he got his green card, his son was 22, so the son didnt get the green card. Can my friend's son still get a green card under the Child Status Protection Act, or some other ruling?
Your friend can apply for an unmarried child independently. Application of CSPA requires analysis of specific facts. I suggest your friend should consult an immigration lawyer for that.

My sister's F4 application was approved 1997 and she is due to go for her interview any day. My question is - I was recently made aware that although at the time the application was made and approved her 2 kids were under 21, but now 12yrs later they are both over 21. What is the next step to take. I was told she has to petition them once she is in US and the priority date will be from 1997. Is that true? How does that work?

The Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) changes who can be considered a “child” for the purpose of visa issuance by the Department of State and for purposes of adjustment of status of aliens by USCIS.
Yet again, great advice and counsel from Mr Rajiv Khanna, P.C. He is more than an attorney. He comes across as a deeply concerned and compassionate human beling eager to listen to one's situation/s and (immigration)circumstances. He's provided me plenty of legal ammunition and warewithal to resolve my son's immigration quandary. I am eagerly looking forward to paying him a courtesy call to express my profound thanks and gratitude. I hold him in high esteem for his eminence and knowledge of the US immigration laws and system.
