    May 6 CSPA memo

    My priority date is April 30, 2001 and I filed on October 18, 2006 and the application was denied on January 16, 2007. I was 25 when I applied, but I am a derivative of my fathers original visa petition and at the time his visa petition was approved, I was 20 years old.

    May 6 CSPA memo

    the new memo is very clear about the CSPA now. I was denied for CSPA benefits because of the one year requirement, but according to this new memo, I should reapply. I am in the process of getting my forms together and will be sending them off to the USCIS next week.

    H-1B.. The reason I said AOS isnt an option for me is because the CIS isnt accepting my case because they expect me to have submitted an I-485 in that timeline when I had no legal right to do so at the time. They dont care if I was a following-to-join case or not. I'm willing to fly home and...
