Immigration Lawyer
Overview
Welcome to The Deng Law Firm, your trusted source for comprehensive legal services in the field of immigration and visas. In this article, we will discuss the recent updates made by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), specifically targeting the protection of immigrant children.
Understanding the CSPA
The CSPA was enacted to address the issue of aging out, where immigrant children who turned 21 became ineligible for certain immigration benefits. The recent updates by USCIS aim to provide enhanced protection for these children.
Key Changes
Let's delve into the key changes brought about by USCIS in relation to CSPA:
1. Age Calculation Formula
USCIS has revised the age calculation formula, allowing certain individuals who would have otherwise aged out to retain their eligibility. This modification provides relief to immigrant children by preserving their priority dates and allowing them to continue pursuing their immigration goals.
2. Automatic Conversion to Appropriate Visa Category
Under the updated CSPA, if an immigrant child's petitioning parent becomes a U.S. citizen, the child's visa category will automatically convert to the appropriate category, thus preventing any negative consequences resulting from the aging-out process.
3. Protection for Derivative Beneficiaries
The CSPA now extends protection to derivative beneficiaries, ensuring that they can retain the benefits of a pending or approved immigration petition even if the petitioning parent ages out. This provision safeguards their immigration status and rights, providing greater security and stability.
