Q: Can USCIS hold an approved I-130 and not sent it to NVC because there is another I-130 pending ?
I have a sister whose I-130 application is still pending and in the last congressional inquiry we made for her case, USCIS said they are holding my approved I-130 from being sent to NVC because my sister case is pending and they want to send both cases together. Can they do that because my case is CSPA sensitive while my sister's isn't( she is under 21 years old )
A: USCIS is generally attentive to CSPA issues. There could be other factors involved, but without knowing who filed the petition on your behalf it is hard to say what those might be. If the petitioner is a USC parent, then then your age “froze” either when your petition was received by USCIS or when your LPR parent became a citizen. We recommend you consult with an immigration attorney.
