What does the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) say about children of U.S. citizens?
Under the CSPA, if you are a U.S. citizen and you file a Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, on behalf of your child before your child turns 21, your child will continue to be considered a child for immigration purposes even if the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not act on the petition before your child turns 21.
