F4 visa interview started priority date 22nd Sept. 2002

[Akash Burman]

Generally this doesn't happen. I have one guess that the files are moving very fast so NVC may have estimated that
your PD will be current in very near future. I think this is good news for us.

[Akash Burman]

You can send mail/letter to CSPA right now but generally they listen only after your PD become current. I can give you the format for the same if you need it.

@harsha Thanks for your prompt reply. Our pd is 5th aug 2003 then when do we start the cspa procedure so my sisters ds260 form can be filled up?

our interview then there was a retrogression to 01/01/2000!

@Akash Burman

First the visa bulletin current date is 01/1/2002 and not feb 2016.

Your biological age is 24 but you have to find your CSPA age

1) get the difference between Petition date and Approval date say "A" ( in your case it is about 6 years)
2) Deduct "A" from your biological date to get your CSPA age ie. 24-6 =18 years.

So you will be eligible for the Visa . There is no problem.

You have to write to NVC once your PD becomes current to activate the link for payment of Visa fees and form DS260.

May be in next 4-5 months your PD will be current.

@harsha thank u harsha.i contacted the nvc.they updated my name in the same invoice and i could fill ds 260 online which i have done.i have sent my supporting documents as well and waiting for case completion letter.m i on the right track? do i have chances?

@ Akash

I think you have 100% chance. You may get your visa within 6 months

My logic is.....They went to July 2003 ...so there will be few person waiting for visa in between.

Doubts F4

F4 category has been cleared up to 1/12/2002. Ruchit, you will get your visa call in the next bulletin, sure.

@ Gurinder , my PD is 21 MAY 2003. My daughter CSPA is cleared . Her fees has been paid. Every documents have been cleared.
Let me know if you want any help. It will be my pleasure.

@harsha i had some doubts. How comes your daughter's CSPA is cleared if still your priority date has not become current. The current visa bulletin shows 1 Dec 2002.
My Priority date is 5th aug 2003 and my sister is also under CSPA. Then how is the procedure done for it because they show her name as NOT APPLICABLE.
Thank you. Your Positive reply will be highly appreciated.

F4 Doubts

@Gurinder, There is 06 years, 1 month and 23 days difference to be subtracted from your biological date to
get the CSPA age at the time of your PD becomes current. If it is less than 21 years then the person can get
the benefit of CSPA.

As on today ie.9/09/2016 biological age is dd-07,mm-08,yy-25 subtracting dd-23,mm-01,yy-06 you will get
CSPA age dd-14,mm-06-yy-19.

If your PD become current before 25/02/2018 (surely it will) then you don't have any problem.

NVC will not consider CSPA application till your PD becomes current. The moment it becomes current you
inform NVC and get your link activated for paying the fees and then DS260.

@harsha. Hi my pd is 5th Aug 2003. if the current pd is 1 dec 2002. My sister is under CSPA act then when are we likely to start the procedure of cspa because they are showing her name but it shows not applicable.
Any predictions when our PD will become current?
Thank you!!

[Akash Burman]

@Tanmay, Your CSPA age is 23 days, 09 Months and 19 years. It shouldn't cross 21 years before your PD become current.

hello people,
my uncle petitioned for my father(57) and mother (52) and me(24) under F4 category in May 2003.
Petition date - May 2003
Approval date - June 2009
visa bulletin current date - feb 2016
application(ds-260) filed for my father and mother in feb itself and NVC did not generate an invoice for me but my name appears on the ceac site as Follow to join N/A under IV fee.the invoice was generated for my parents but not for me.
My current age is 24 and i want to know whether do i qualify under CSPA act and still legally apply under the F4 category with my father and mother?
please reply asap and let me know what is the process to obtain the invoice and apply?
PS - My parents fees are already paid and ds260 submitted.
