CSPA -"seek to acquire" within 1 year meaning ? - Please help

[kuriachen]

My family is immigrating under F4 Visa Category from India.

My Father is the primary beneficiary.
My mother, me and my sister is are derivative beneficiaries

Priority date: 26/02/2004
Approval date: 22/02/2016

My sister is currently 27 years age, however i think she may be eligible under CSPA- Child Status Protection Act

I recently read that, in case we are eligible under CPSA one must "Seek to acquire"
within 1 year of visa becoming available.

In the current Visa bulletin I can see two charts
A. APPLICATION FINAL ACTION DATES FOR FAMILY-SPONSORED PREFERENCE CASES
B. DATES FOR FILING FAMILY-SPONSORED VISA APPLICATION

My question is

1. How to know from which date the "Seek to acquire"
within 1 year of visa becoming available is calculated ? ( FINAL ACTION DATES or DATES FOR FILING )
2. How do we "Seek to acquire" the CSPA ? which applications should we submit or how should we proceed ?

How can the approval date be correctly found ? Is it the date the NVC approved the petition ? or the notice date from USCIS ? (attached)

approval date is the date your case was generated at NVC.Here your notice date is AUG2004 the date when USCIS sent details to NVC.When did u get the mail that your petition is approved.The first time u knew about your case no.
