During this era of lengthy green card backlogs, many clients are concerned about their children “aging out” before applications for permanent residency are complete. Panelists on this beginner seminar will present a basic overview of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), and they will discuss how it can effectively “freeze” a child’s age, providing an opportunity to keep immigrant families intact despite significant wait times.
Featured Topics:
- What Is the Definition of a Child (According to the CSPA)?
- To Whom Does the CSPA Apply?
- Analyzing and Calculating “CSPA Age”
- Strategies to Ensure Maximum Benefit of CSPA (e.g., Premium Processing, Adjustment of Status vs. Consular Processing, Downgrading, Upgrading, Interfiling)
