The Child Status Protection Act and Child Citizenship ActCarl Shusterman

This presentation explains how to immigrate to the U.S. together with your spouse and children using The Child Status Protection Act and Child Citizenship Act. Schedule a legal consultation (by Skype, telephone or in person) at http://shusterman.com/schedule-immigration-consultation.html
The Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) was enacted in order to keep immigrant families intact despite family-based and employment-based waiting times which can range up to 23 years or more.
Prior to CSPA, once a child turned 21 years of age, he or she “aged-out” and was no longer able to immigrate (or adjust status) along with his or her parents. CSPA “freezes the age” of immediate relative children when their petitioning U.S. citizen parent submits a visa petition on their behalf; when a petitioning permanent resident parent naturalizes; or when a married son or daughter who has been petitioned by a U.S. citizen parent becomes divorced or widowed.
CSPA also creates a mathematical formula which allows the amount of time that a visa petition was pending to be subtracted from a child’s age.
What happens if a child “ages-out” despite the mathematical formula?
Again, the Child Status Protection Act provides relief for “aged-out” cchildren in the form of the “automatic conversion” clause. However, on June 9, 2014, the Supreme Court deferred to the restrictive definition of this clause which was promulgated by the BIA.
CSPA also contains an “opt-out” clause which permits unmarried adult sons and daughters of U.S. citizen to choose between the family-based 1st and 2B preference categories depending on which category allows them to reunite with their parents faster.
CSPA is applicable not only to persons who were sponsored for lawful permanent residence after the law took effect, but to many people who were sponsored for green cards prior to August 6, 2002. Therefore, it applies many thousands of persons.
For more information, please see our CSPA page at http://shusterman.com/childstatusprotectionact.html

The process to obtain permanent residence in the US usually takes several years and involves three main steps. First, an immigrant petition must be approved by the USCIS for a qualifying relative, employer, or self-petition. Second, an immigrant visa number must be available through the DOS, which are limited annually by quotas. Those with immediate relatives are exempt. Finally, when a visa number is available, the applicant must apply to adjust status with USCIS or apply for an immigrant visa at a US consulate. If the adjustment of status application is approved, the applicant can remain in the US and will receive a green card.

12. How would the Philippines get TPS
designation?
The decision to designate a country for TPS rests with the
executive branch of the federal government. Congress does
not vote on it, though members of Congress may ask the
President to designate a particular country.
To start the process the Philippines government should make the
request of the U.S. government through the diplomatic
channels. After the request is made, the Secretary of
Homeland Security, in consultation with the appropriate
agencies such as the Department of State, will then decide
whether to grant the request. The designation only becomes
effective once it is published in the Federal Register.
13. Why should the Philippines be designated for TPS?
-
Typhoon Haiyan impact:
235 mph wind speed of Haiyan when it hit the Philippines, Category 5
125 mph wind speed of Katrina when it hit Louisiana, Category 3
80 mph wind speed of Sandy when it hit New Jersey
-
Due to the level of damage and restoration required for the
Philippines to reabsorb its nationals from abroad, many of whom
have homes that were destroyed by the typhoon.
-
A grant of TPS would allow Filipinos here in the U.S. to work and
support their families who were impacted by the typhoon.
Remittances account for almost for almost 10 percent of the
Philippines’ Gross Domestic Product. Now more than ever, those
funds are needed to help support the recovery process.
