Is there anyway to view the most recent 20 or 30 K-1 visas that are now in transit or ready from a particular embassy, other than the brute force search through the most recent approval column. I have tried 100 times to use the sort tools on the statistic's page but I have never been able to make it function correctly. I have tried until my head hurts to get it to produce a list of the last 30 from the Manilla embassy w/o sucess! Thanks

| Unexpected Notice of Approval |

Background: - In 2016 I filed for a fiance visa for my wife and her 3 youngest children
- In March of 2017 I received notice that the file was approved by NVC and on its way to Manila
- Oldest of the 3 kids was 20, turning 21 on April 12, 2017.
- Embassy did the best to expedite the case, but ...
- Wife was sidetracked for 2 months of TB testing
- Oldest of the 3 aged out
- TB cleared, the had their embassy interview in early June, 2017.
- Embassy asked for a police report of a misspelling of her family name that had been corrected on her birth certificate
- She sent the police report, embassy neglected to read their mail
- She called them, they got things rolling & sent the passports back with the visas in them
- They (wife-to-be & 2 youngest children) arrived via JFK on 26 July 2017, the one who aged out did not get to make the trip
Next ... - In August of 2019 we file I-130's for the two unmarried adult children, weren't expecting their priority dates to come up for another 7-8 years (currently processing Philippine F2B's with 22 October 2011 priority dates)
- I'm assuming that the NOA date of 29 August 2019 is his priority date
In February, 2022 (last month) - The one who aged out received a study visa from Canada and is now attending school in Ottawa, Ontario
Today ... - Wife received email notice with MNL & NVC case numbers that the application for the one who aged out has been approved, needs to apply for his visa.
So what's changed? 3 possibilities I can think of: - It's a mistake.
- Biden's immigration proposals included no longer aging out kids who turn 21 during the visa process. Last I heard Biden's immigration proposals were pigeon-holed in various House and Senate committees, and nothing decisive has been in Congress, but perhaps they are doing this administratively -- making amends for kids recently aged out?
- They''ve shortened the priority date for Philippine F2B's, but the current (March 2022) Visa Bulletin says their processing priority dates of 22 October
Has anyone had any similar experiences recently? We don't want to ruin it for him, but we don't understand why this is happening and the best way to proceed. Can his interview be done in Ottawa? I doubt his Canadian visa will allow multiple entries, which would preclude going back to Manila for an interview & the returning to school.

My wife should receive her naturalization certification on March 7. Currently, she has two F2A cases which were DQ'd last summer. I have heard conflicting information on how to upgrade them to IR2 cases. Does anybody know the exact steps? Furthermore, during her naturalization interview my wife legally changed her name. The only difference is that she added a middle name. Her first and last names remain unchanged. Does this matter at all? Thank you very much!

Hopefully someone has some insight into this issue, My wife just became a licensed pharmacist in a state with medical marijuana, she been looking for a job and came across a job at a dispensary that required a pharmacist. If she were to get a job there, would that risk her permanent resident card or citizenship? Since marijuana is illegal at a federal level.
