Thank you for insightful video. A child is listed under an approved petition for F4 category and is now waiting to attend the interview with the parents. - Is there a possibility of a child be rejected with the reason of aging out at the interview even after a child's DS-260 form and civil documents are qualified by the NVC? - If a child delays to seek within one year of visa availability to benefit from CSPA, how or in which step can we know? is it before or after receiving documentarily qualified email? Who will let us know that a child is ineligible under the CSPA?

If my child is over 21 when my EB2 i140 priority date becomes current, even after subtracting i140 processing time (6 mnths) the child is still over 21. So he cannot apply as derivative in my i485. But when I get the green card, I can apply again for him in f2b category , will he get new priority date , or can he retain my i140 EB2 priority date since he was derivative applicant in that i140 (with his name written as dependent child at that time).

Hello sir..l am 2022 lottery winners and my interview will be next month. my son turned 21 his name in the 2 letter but when I checked I found 4 number of visas and we are 5 what can I do sir? I applied for the Visa in November 2020

1) Calculate the age of the child on the date when an immigrant visa number becomes “available” or the approval date, whichever is later; and 2) Reduce that number by the days the diversity visa petition has been “pending.”

No. To be a stepson, the marriage must occur before his 18th birthday. His father(your husband) can sponsor him after he get his green card.

[@vincehendrixbartolome832]

hello sir good day. how about we failed to seek to acquire for 1 year? my grandmother filed for my mother under f3 family based petition last 20 years ago. last 2020 we received our welcome letter and we should start uploading files and documents. we were DQ last 2021 but unfortunately my dad didn't tell us that he filed an annulment against my mom and my mom also didn't know. I think my dad paid the judge or court under the table here in the philippines. so that means our category changed from f3 to f1. does that mean we failed to seek to acquire because our visa should be available according to f1 category long time ago?
