The recent main revision of the United States policy could affect the capacity of the green card of Indian American families. At the same time, it is focused on the green card of thousands of children in Indian American families.
The recent amendment issued on August 8 states: “We update the political manual to clarify that the visa will be available for the purposes of the child’s position on the basis of the calculation of final action data of the Ministry of the State Visa Bulletin.
According to the Act on Immigration and Nationality (INA), a child is a man who is less than 21 years of age and unmarried.
The USCIS Political Handbook provides key details about the “immigrants’ visa” available “for the purpose of calculating the age on the protection of children. Effective from August 15th applies to applications submitted by August 15 or later.
What is the child protection law?
Before switching to the change of the application process, you need to know what the child’s condition (CSPA) is. This law introduced in 2002 protected certain children from aging while waiting in pending cards.
Change from “Data for submission” to “Final Dates of Action”
Until now, the “Registration data” chart has been used. This allowed families to “lock” the age of their child before, although the visa was not available, in the monthly visa bulletin to calculate the age of the CSPA.
From August 15th, the “Final Action” chart will be used. This is the date of determination of the CSPA age, when a visa is actually available and the green card can be approved.
How will it affect Indian families?
Since the “final event” has been delaying “data for submission” for years and sometimes even decades, it has been bad news for Indians in the categories EB-2 and EB-3. This means that applicants apply for a green card whose family family, a preference based on employment or diversity visa, has been approved, who will turn 21 before the “final date” of the action of losing the status of permanent resident as dependent according to the new change.
The child would be difficult for a child over 21 years of age to get a green card, while parents move forward with the status of a statutory resident (LPR), the child would have to go to the student visa (F-1) or ask for another temporary status.
Meanwhile, the old policy would continue to apply to applications filed before August 15, 2025, if the applicant submitted a paperwork that has been included in the previous rule. If the immigrant “proves extraordinary circumstances for not requesting a state of the status of 14 February 2023, politics before August 15, 2025, we calculate the CSPA age according to February 14, 2023,” says the latest press release.
