family preference categories visa bulletin explained

If a priority date is within twelve months of the current cutoff, or a child in a pending F2A or F2B case is approaching 21, call the office to have Attorney Ibarra run the CSPA math and confirm which chart applies this month. Bring the I-130 receipt notice (Form I-797C) and the beneficiary's birth certificate — most retrogression and aging-out questions get answered in that one meeting, not over email.
