I am USA Citizen and I filed for my sister for F4 and now they are recevied paper works from Mumbai Immigration office and I have just paid $70.00 fee last week. It looks like PD will be current in December 2009

My sister has 3 unmarried children age 25, 22, and 21

Receipt Date of Petition Filed: Jul, 26, 1999
Date the Form I-130 was approved: May, 17, 2005
Length of time the Form I-130 was pending: 5 Years & 10 Months

Based on my research CPSA apply in this case for childern What kind of procedure I need to do and when ? Do I need to draft a letter stating that CPSA should apply ? Does any one have any generic letter that I can use to make my case ?

Your help in this regards highly appreicated.

probably other people can give you a better answer as I am mostly clueless, but I saw no one responded, here is what I know...

In addition to the payment for $70, you should soon be receiving a letter requesting payment of $400 for each person who is eligible to come. If the CPSA does not apply to the children, you will know at that point (my experience here :mad:, in fact, I received the 2 letters within a week), hence I assume that if they CPSA applies, they will be required to pay the $400.

my apology, I may be wrong. the following is from the URL us-immigration-attorney.com aging-out.htm, I can't post an URL..


Donald files an I-140 petition under the EB-1(A) "alien of extraordinary ability" category when his daughter Mary is 20 years, 11 months old. The case is approved after 6 months, and at that time, Mary is 21 years and 5 months old. Immigrant visa numbers are available at the time Donald's immigration petition is approved. Mary's age at the time is reduced by 6 months, which equals 20 years 11 months. As a derivative beneficiary of Donald's immigration petition, Mary's age is locked at 20 years, 11 months.

Acquiring Permanent Residency

However, this provision applies only if the alien child has applied to acquire permanent residence within one year after the visa number becomes available.

Thus, in the above example, in order to take advantage of the CSPA Mary has to apply for adjustment of status (if she is in the U.S.), or apply for an immigrant visa (if she is abroad), within one year of the visa number becoming available.

Is better if you find a lawyer. I think the law was passed between 2000-02, so I'm not sure if it will apply to your case; because you filed 1999.

It definitely applies to cases that were pending when the CSPA became law in 2002. Some derivative beneficiaries whose petitions were approved before the CSPA can also benefit from it.
