This process is so confusing. As a grandfathered beneficiary, you need to prove your parent was already in the US by 2000? I thought the only requirement was that the application was submitted prior to 2001? If an application for the parent was submitted in 1994 and approved later that year, but the Visa didnt become available until 2003, hence the parent was not in the US until 2003, the child will not qualify even though they were listed in the application?

For grandfather 245i to work, you need:
1/ application prior to 2001
2/ principal beneficiary in US prior to 2001
3/ grandfathered child to be over 21?
