He doesn't retain his mom's priority date because he already aged-out as mom's derivative.

He is under the F2B category now with the PD when his mom filed for his i-130. He will wait 10-11 years before he can immigrate. He has to maintain his unmarried status all thru out the waiting time.

Isn't it that the retention of priority dates applies to the aged out child of a derivative and has a new filed 1-130?

Hello guys I'm back again. After my cspa success, I totally love this site. Anyway, I got a question again. This one is for my cousin.. Can anyone from Philippines know how to request in the embassy to retain a parents priority date..? My cousin is a 23 yrs old. He is the beneficiary of her mom. Her mom was petitioned under f1 category. 1985 is the priority date in 2011 they got interviewed but unfortunately my cousin is already aged out. So when her mom arrived here in us. She petition my cousin under f2b category.. Now, we want to retain her mothers priority date so it will make his processing faster. Because in f2b the waiting time is 10 years. And our problem is, how could we notify the us embassy manila or the NVC in retaining priority dates... I hoping for ur reply guys. Thanks.

hello guys. i just check it out my case status. and it appears there ISSUED. they already issued me my visa. just to wait 7 days for the delivery as it says. thank god... and thanks to everyone who showered me with their knowledge regarding my visa processing.. a big thank you..

Wah. I will pray for dat.

Ok i'll update u guys.

Im hoping for a positve outcome this time;)))

Hello guys. Us embassy manila called me this afternoon and they ask me to.send back my passport to them. And the person i talk to the phone ask me some question like who is my petitioner.

Why are they asking me to send back my passport?

Did you do as we directed? If you didn't then the AP for your case status most likely doesn't mean anything and you're now being placed in the F2B category.

i already email the us embassy manila and thy dnt have any reply yet..

i emailed the us embassy manila, following the instructions. gotten no reply yet..

guys i have some questions again.. after my interview thy give me back my passport and told me they are going to transfer me to f2b category. then i search for my case status. and it says it is under administrative processing.. so whats the meaning of this??

hellow. everyone. i have a question again. well lets say that i cant appeal for my case anymore. therefor they are going to transfer me to f2b category. now my question is. do my mom will repetition me again for f2b category or do the us embassy manila forward my case to NVC and it will automatically convert to f2b?

It means your case is under review.

There is no formal way to appeal a consular officer's decision. However, you might be able to get the consular officer or the visa section chief to reconsider their decision. If your DS-230 was accepted before the retrogression then your age should have been locked on the first day that your priority date was current.

I would write a letter to the IV section chief. Include your case number and an explanation of what happened.

Immigrant Visa Branch, Attn: IV Section Chief

United States Embassy

1201 Roxas Blvd.

Ermita, Metro Manila 1000

You might want to write somewhere on the envelope something like "URGENT: CSPA ERROR!". That might help get somebody's attention.

additional question: what do administrative processing means??

wat is the email address of us embassy?

yeah me too. i am soo much confused and at the same time stress..

its hard for me to accept. because i waited dat for so long.. if its not retrogressed den i am now reunited with my mom. so sad dat i am living alone:(((
