CSPA

Glossary

A law that can protect some derivative children from aging out of eligibility.

The Child Status Protection Act can freeze or reduce a child's immigration age in specific situations.

The calculation depends on the child's birth date, petition history, visa availability, and whether the applicant sought to acquire within the required window.

Check
  • Track child birth dates and petition approval dates.
  • Review CSPA risk before a priority date becomes current.
  • Ask qualified counsel to confirm edge cases.
