CSPA and Naturalization

Hello,My father is a LPR who applied for citizenship some time ago and USCIS sent his interview letter which is set for February 4 next month. My question is that when my father applied for I-130 for me, I was under 21 years old and now I am 23 years old but  I am covered by CSPA. My case has been approved and waiting to be sent to NVC. If my father become a citizen before my process is done in NVC, can they change my category which F2A to F1 ? or can I keep my child status or do I become an immediate relative of US Citizen? Because if my category changes, it would extend my process since F2A is current in the latest visa bulletin but other categories aren't. I am not in the US by the way, I will do consular processing.
My priority date : 03/03/2017
Approval date : 09/10/2019

You should be able to apply to maintain F2 status. Have you already filled in a DS260?
 

What office is your father interviewing at? It may still take some weeks between his interview and his oath ceremony - he is not a citizen until he takes his oath.

Which F2 tho ? I am currently F2A via CSPA. My I-130 petition just got forwarded to NVC so it will take months for me to get to the US so he would be a US citizen during NVC process so automatic conversion might penalize me and change my category with longer waiting time.
