hi

yes, you will be denied. even if you divorced, the day you married the petition was voided, you can't get married when your parents are only LPR

what your parents should have done is withdraw the i130, and file a new i130 once you divorced last year, together with a copy of your divorce decree

when you divorced you became single again and eligible for a F2B visa, but only after you divorced

it doesn't matter that you're divorced now, what matters is that you got married under the F2B visa, and the law clearly states that you must remain unmarried during the whole process and until you enter the US with the visa. that's why a lot of couples live together and don't marry. the beneficiary gets the visa, enters the country and returns to marry partner and then file a petition for spouse

hi

I did read, but you don't understand, this petition was voided, it doesn't matter that you now sent your divorce decree, you made the mistake of getting married, that's the whole point

you have to start over, with a new petition because the petition was voided the day you married. the officer at your interview will deny your visa because you got married in the first place, now it is too late. just because you sent in your divorce decree you won't be forgiven because you don't have a petition

the petition died when you got married, there is no category for married children of a LPR so the petition died the day you married

what should have been done is

your parents withdraw the petition, as soon as you got your final decree in 2015, your parents file a new i130 with your decree, you wait another 7 years, and then you go to your interview

Here is the data from the uscis.gov site

Getting Married. If you are the unmarried son or daughter of a permanent resident, and you get married prior to becoming a permanent resident, you no longer qualify for permanent residence through your permanent resident family member. There is no visa category for a married child of a permanent resident. Note: You must notify USCIS of any change in your marital status after Form I-130 has been filed for you and prior to becoming a permanent resident or obtaining an immigrant visa.

Did you notify them when you got married as required ? Divorcing did not change the fact that you were no longer able to get a visa while you were married. If they approved the petition ( yes you are the son of a LPR ) the consulate will schedule the interview only to tell you no. You will waste the money on the medical and the fees. If your parents become USC then there is a class for married adult children. Your brothers status is irrelevant unless he turns 21 and petitions you himself.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

hi

NVC doesn't approve documents, they receive them and accept what's sent until file is complete, NVC can't make a decision on a case, that's what the interview is with an officer that will deny the case because it is voided the day he married

he has to start over

Once you get denied, have one of your parents file a new I-130 for you.

How about postpone his interview, let his parents become US citizen first, then file I-130 for him and reschedule a interview again, so, his case will keep going and he doesn't have to waste any time. Will it works?

No because the case ended when the OP got married. Her petitioner becoming a US citizen does not make the case valid again.

Once the OP got married, the case died. You can't raise the dead.
