What is a Derivative Beneficiary?

September 27th, 2024 | usvisalawyer

A derivative beneficiary is a foreign national who cannot be directly petitioned for, but who can follow-to-join or accompany the principal beneficiary based on a spousal or parent-child relationship.
.
When a derivative beneficiary of a family-sponsored preference petition (such as F4) reaches the age of 21, they are no longer considered a “child” for immigration purposes. Instead, they are classified as an “adult” or “aged-out” child.
.
Congress recognized that many children were aging out due to large USCIS processing backlogs, so it enacted the Child Status Protection Act (“CSPA”) in August 2022 to protect certain children from “aging out.”

Internal Processing Time!

December 11th, 2023 | usvisalawyer

Internal Processing Time!
.
Generally, I can have an initial draft prepared within seven (7) business days after receiving all of the required information and documentation.
.
I never begin the drafting process until I receive written confirmation that all of the required information and documentation has been provided. This prevents a significant amount of back-and-forth editing/updating and reduces the opportunity for error.
