The Child Status Protection Act

The Child Status Protection Act

Although President Bush signed into law the Child Status Protection Act ("CSPA") in 2002, many questions remain unanswered as to who will actually benefit from the law and what actions green card applicants must undertake to ensure that benefits are not lost. In an effort to answer some of these questions, the INS Office of the Commissioner issued a memorandum providing some initial guidance to regional INS offices in the adjudication of benefits under CSPA.
