Category changed from IR-2 to F11?

[David Balos 1]

Hi Everyone,

 

So let's start with the fact that my petition was filed a month before I was turning 21. (almost 2 years ago) Throughout the whole process I was advised that my category was going to be IR-2 and it was. My petition was USCIS approved and then I got DQed in May 2020. I had my interview scheduled for October 2020 at the London Embassy, I have gone through the medical examination and vaccinations which have been paid for and then a day before my interview the US Embassy in London called me and advised me not to come to the interview because I was affected by the Trump proclamations.

 

Recently I have logged into the NVC CEAC and realized that my Visa Category have changed from IR-2 to F11. I thought my age should freeze at the time of the application and I shouldn't age out.

 

Obviously I am worried on how long this process is going to take as this isn't IR-2 but F11.

 

I have already submitted the NVC Contact Form to advise that the category shouldn't been changed to F11.

 

This whole process created so much stress and loss of money considering my police certificates have expired as well as the medical examination.

 

Can you please help? Did you guys came across this?

 

I appreciate any help, have a great day.

Hi!

 

Yes, I spoke with my lawyer and I am quoting her email: "You are absolutely right, the embassy made a mistake when it changed your category from Immediate Relative (IR-2) to a family preference-based category (F-11). Your age was frozen when your step-mother filed an immigrant petition on your behalf, as such you are still an immediate relative and an immigrant visa should be available to you now."

 

We are now trying to get hold of the embassy. I already tried contacting them but had no reply. I got my lawyer to contact the embassy so hopefully we will hear back something soon about changing the visa class back to IR-2.

 

Hope this helps
