It would appear that the child is protected under the CSPA as his age was “frozen” at the time that the priority date became current which would appear from your set of facts to have been in September 2022. He also sought to acquire his immigrant status by his having filed the I-485 application in the same month. Alternate options would not appear to be necessary.
