š¢ New USCIS Policy Change on the Child Status Protection Act! š
š What is the Child Status Protection Act? It shields kids and young adults from aging out of their immigration benefits. š”ļø
ā° So, what changed? This primarily affects those who rely on the visa bulletin for their Green Card placement. Whether it's Family-based or Employment-based categories, the age calculation has been modified.
ā ļø Important points to note:
1ļøā£ We're uncertain if this applies to Department of State consular processing cases.
2ļøā£ This doesn't protect ALL kids from aging out.
3ļøā£ You must seek to acquire your Green Card within 1 year of the visa becoming available (a separate requirement).
4ļøā£ If you need assistance navigating this complex rule, call us at Antonini and Cohen. We're here to guide you. š
