I have a question about CSPA

My fathers sister applied for I130 in December 2001. The peition was approved on 08/10/2009.
When the petition was filed, I was 14 years old. Now I am currently 22. After doing some research I believe I can be can covered under CSPA. According to CSPA age calculator I am considered 16 years old.

My question is: How do I let USCIS know that I am eligible for CSPA? I hear that there is some covering letter to write. What do I have to include in covering letter?
Is there a form that needs to be filled out in addition to I 485?

Please help me. I am very confused.

Thank you

Thank you Are you in the U.S. and actually eligible to file an I-485? The FB4 category only became current in November 2010 for the worldwide category. If you are in the U.S., what status are you in? You, as a derivative, can accompany or follow to join your parent who is the principal beneficiary. Where is the rest of the family? Will you be dealing with the Consulate?

Hi, Im in a similar situation as you, but mine didnt take 8 years. My lawyer did all the filing but he mentioned that your "age" that will be considered for CSPA is when you file your I485 which would be when your priority date is current.
And like BigJoe5 asked, are you in the U.S. and if you are eligible to file I485. if you are out of status, then you cant file here. unless one of your parents were petitioned on or before April 30, 2001 and you were a derivative, you would be eligible to file your I485 under 245i..
Some lawyers do partial service stuff i dont know exactly but some of them can help you fill out your forms for lesser charge, whereas if you retain a lawyer,it will be more costly. This forum gives great advice, but your best option is always to consult a lawyer.

Yes I am in US. I am currently on H4 visa that is valid until November 2013
My dad has H1 visa that is also valid until Nov 2013

So there is not a separate form that needs to attached with I 485? The cover letter that I write, does that have to be in some sort of format?
If someone is willing share their support letter or give me an example of one..I will really appreciate it.

Appreciate your help.
