U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced updated guidance Tuesday regarding when an immigrant visa number “becomes available” for the purpose of calculating a noncitizen’s age under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA).
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: Top companies and immigration organizations have urged the Biden administration to take steps to protect children who “age out” of their status while their parents wait for green cards to be processed. While the updated guidance will not protect all children who age out, it will protect those who are eligible to file for adjustment of status based on the Dates for Filing chart. USCIS said it “continues to explore all options available under the law to aid this population.” BAL will provide updates as information becomes available.
