Child Status Fairness and Modernization Act

This bill changes how the U.S. immigration system calculates the age of children seeking citizenship through a parent. It amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to use the date a parent's petition was first filed (instead of the parent's naturalization date) when determining if a child is under 21. This directly affects immigrant children who might otherwise "age out" of eligibility as their parent becomes a citizen. The key provision prevents children from losing their place in line for a visa due to time delays, ensuring their age is fixed at the initial petition filing.
