What does the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) say about children of legal permanent residents?
Under the CSPA, if you are a legal permanent resident and you file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative on behalf of your child before your child turns 21, your childs age will be determined using the date that the priority date of the Form I-130 becomes current, minus the number of days that the Form I-130 is pending. In addition, your child must seek to acquire the status of a legal permanent resident within one year of visa availability. This provision also applies to derivative beneficiaries on family-based and employment-based petitions.
