Since your I130 was pending for 2 months, you get to qualify until you are 21 yrs. and 2 months old (that is what CSPA means). Since you were born at the end of April 96, that meant you would have qualified until the end of June 2017. Unfortunately your PD was not current at that time, and hence you no longer qualify.

How did your mother acquire permanent residency? If through marriage, was it through marriage with a US citizen or with a US permanent resident; and how old were you when they got married? I'm just curious about how you didn't acquire permanent residency at the same time your mother did
