Seekerpal, this is all news to me and scary. Did your parents write to both NVC and the embassy where the interview will be taking place ? As far as I am aware it is the officer during the interview that calculates CSPA and makes the final decision. Persons wanting CSPA will normally wait outside until the officer doing the interview agrees that he/she qualifies and they will either ask that he/she come in or give him/her a separate date. Did your parents interview take place already ? Your younger brother's name would not be on the letter as the decision for CSPA is made on the date of your parent's interview. This is what I have gathered from persons on this forum and other forums. I hope Aadryan or someone who went through the process can also shed some light here. Don't give up !!!!

There is no limitation on CSPA visas. The limitation is on the category and country. What's your parents' category and from what country ?

[seekerpal]

Their catagory is f3 and they are from pakistan

Seekerpal,

I read this differently than you did. First two sentences explain why your brother's name is not included, and rightly so. However, the other sentences are in preparation for him and your parents to present his case to the officer for CSPA during the interview. In fact they are telling him to come with your parents. Please ensure that he goes with all documents and please let us know the outcome. Relax !

You misinterpreted what you read. Immigration is saying 'we decided that your brother has aged out totally BUT if your family thinks we (immigration) is wrong, your brother needs to do and bring with him the documents we listed just now to the interview with the rest of his family'.

Just do what the letter says and your brother should be okay.

What is "approval date" for calculation of cspa ?
Is that the same as the notice date printed on I-797 notice of approval ?

Yes, it is. The i-797 should give the date the case is approved.
