How do I calculate CSPA age?
Quick Answer
CSPA Age = (Age when priority date becomes current) - (I-130 pending time in days)
Detailed Explanation
The CSPA formula: Take the child's age in days on the date the priority date becomes current, subtract the number of days the I-130 petition was pending at USCIS (from receipt date to approval date). If the result is under 21 years (7665 days), the child qualifies. Example: Child is 22 years old when F2A becomes current. I-130 was pending for 400 days. CSPA age = 22 years - (400 days / 365) = 22 - 1.1 = 20.9 years. Child qualifies! Important: Must also 'seek to acquire' within 1 year by submitting DS-260 or filing I-485.
