UPDATE: After submitting supporting evidence, I received a message this week from the NVC stating "The correspondence submitted is currently under review. An appropriate action will be taken once this review is completed." After some research / reading posts from people who got the same message, this review could take anywhere from 20 days to 6 months. I'm hoping my review is on the shorter end. Now we wait!

UPDATE: NVC responded after I sent a public inquiry. Their response was copy and pasted from 2 previous responses I've had (i.e. Immigration laws and regulations do not allow us to process your petition until a visa is available.... when we can process your petition, we will send further instructions) However the last line was something new: Currently, this case cannot be reviewed for applicability of the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), as there is no visa number available according to this case's priority date and visa category. I completely understand that if I am F11 I will have to wait (as the email says) BUT I disagree that I am in the F11 category. I think NVC have inputted the wrong priority date and therefore I am in the wrong category. Thoughts? I sent another public inquiry saying as such.

Still at NVC stage!

Yes - all paperwork is with us!

No more attorney at the moment - I really appreciate your advice here. I'll get in touch with the NVC!

We are no longer employing the services of this lawyer unfortunately. It angers me to no end that I could have taken action over a year ago! Thank you for your insight.

I am not 100% sure when they married but I think I had not yet turned 18. Could this be a factor for the NVC?

I live in the UK. My USC stepfather filed an I-130 petition for me back in 2019 when I was under 21. In March 2022, it was approved as unmarried child of USC with a priority date of 14/08/2019. My case was sent to the NVC. My attorney and step dad received the welcome letter from the NVC with login details which was sent in March 2022. I have only just now been sent that letter (thanks to my attorney) so have not logged into the portal for over a year. I am over 21 now. When I log in to NVC site, my case shows that the visa category is F11 (Unmarried daughter or child of USC) and the priority date has changed to 19/08/2019. This category has a roughly 5 year wait time which I thought I would avoid. My question is: is it possible for the NVC to move the USCIS priority date?? I didn't think it was.
