✅ **Case Status: Approved**
---
A beneficiary who turned 21 during the process successfully obtained a green card through CSPA protection, filing a corrected second I-130 one day before their 21st birthday. The case involved a transfer of underlying basis, an RFE, and confusing F2B wording on I-130 approval notices that did not affect the final outcome. Total process from first I-130 to I-485 approval spanned approximately 24 months.
This case involved a complex procedural history: two I-130 petitions (the first containing a clerical error, the second filed one day before the beneficiary's 21st birthday to preserve CSPA eligibility), an I-485 filed in June 2025, a rejected initial I-765 due to an outdated edition, an RFE issued 44 days after I-485 filing, a transfer-of-underlying-basis request from the second I-130 to the first, and ultimately approval without an interview. A notable point of confusion: both I-130 approval notices bore F2B classification language, despite the case proceeding under F2A/CSPA. USCIS confirmed this wording was semantic and did not indicate CSPA denial. The I-485 was approved internally on 07/20/2026, with phone confirmation on 07/21/2026 before the online account updated.
