F2B Retention Request

[hope2018 25]

Hello everyone, 

My sister is scheduled for AOS interview at the end of 11/2018. Her category is F2B but my dad became a US citizen before her interview date. She filed AOS based on "dates for filing" so her priority date is not current. Her PD is 12/2013. She needs to opt out of the automatic conversion from F2b to F1 or her AOS will be denied. 

She mailed out the F2b retention request letter to the USCIS office that approved her form I-130. The office is located in Laguna, California. I checked the tracking number and received a message that they attempted to deliver the mail but it was failed due to "no access to delivery location". I wonder if it has anything to do with the wildfire  there. 

Is there an email address or where should she send her F2b retention letter? Thanks

I guess not a lot of people is in a similar situation. Anyway the F2b retention request was delivered successfully today. My sister made infopass appointment and spoke to USCIS. We also called them and got the answer.

My sister went to her AOS interview and was told not to worry about the F2B retention request. She filed AOS right before my dad became USC.

Dear hope,
I will need to do the same request.

Please,  Can you submit an example of the F2b retention letter?
