Is a will made at 21 still valid at 46?

Q: How is CSPA age calculated for extraordinary circumstances?

For extraordinary circumstances, CSPA age is calculated similarly, but additional factors may be considered. If a child has faced delays due to extraordinary circumstances, such as a prolonged processing time, these delays can be factored into the age calculation, potentially allowing the child to remain eligible under CSPA.

Q: How is the age of the Child Status Protection Act calculated?

The age under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) is calculated by taking the child's age at the time of visa application and subtracting the total time the application was pending. This calculation helps determine if the child qualifies as a minor under CSPA provisions.

Q: What is the new age rule for CSPA?

The new age rule for CSPA allows children to be treated as minors if they have pending immigration applications. If the child turns 21 while the application is pending, their age is reduced by the time the application was delayed, which can help them retain eligibility for certain immigration benefits.

Q: What is the adjustment of status for a child over 21?

Adjustment of status for a child over 21 typically refers to the process by which a child who has aged out of eligibility may still seek to adjust their status to become a lawful permanent resident. This can be complex and often requires meeting specific criteria, including the CSPA provisions if applicable.
