SAMPLE OF F2B RETENTION REQUEST LETTER
Date:ATTN: Office in ChargeDHS/ USCISUS Embassy, Manila, PhilippinesRE: Section 6 of Child Status Protection ActDear Sir/ MadamI am the principal beneficiary of a family based immigrant visa petition filed under F2B Category. Since the sponsor _______, recently Naturalized into American Citizenship it is to my understanding that the original F2B petition is automatically be converted to the F1 category. But basing on the recent US State Department Visa Bulletin this automatic conversion is disadvantageous in my particular case because of the significant retrogressed dates under F1 ( Philippines). In relation to this as the principal beneficiary, I am respectfully requesting an exemption to this automatic conversion from F2B to F1 Classification. I elect to retain my original F2B category as provided under Section 6 of the United States Child Status Protection Act ( CSPA) or if the conversion has already occurred to have it revoked. Here are the pertinent data related to the petition.Name of Principal Applicant:Applicant's Date of Birth:Name of Petitioner:Petitioner's Date of Birth:Case Number:Priority Date:Preference Category: F2B Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Permanent ResidentsI will be waiting for the acknowledgement of receipt and action with regards to this request from your good office.Respectfully,Principal Beneficiary:Home Address:Email:-
This is the letter that my friend's son wrote to USCIS in Manila Philippines, just change the address where your USCIS is located. If your Priority date of F2B gets earlier than F1 this is the right time to submit the opt out letter. The beneficiary can bring this opt out letter to the US EMbassy on the interview date or whenever you see on the Visa Bulletin that F2B is faster you can send this opt out letter to your USCIS address. , but if the F1 goes earlier than F2B you don't need the opt out letter.
