But is there a reason why this is "preliminary" and not final? Or is this just legal jargon? I am just afraid if I adjust status that it may be changed back at the end and I can be out of status if it takes too long.

NVC. My visa class was changed from F1 to IR2.

I have been found "preliminary" CSPA eligible. The message also states that this is not a final determination and that the final determination will be made at the visa interview or adjustment of status. Is it possible that if I adjust status I may not be found CSPA eligible at the end? Or am I overthinking this?

Category is IR2. The I-130 has been approved.

< 6 months. I am planning to file after 3-4 months. I believe I can since I don't have a 2 years home residency requirement. Is there anything else I'm missing? My mother is the petitioner.

I am on a J1 visa in the US since past 2 months without the 2 year home residency requirement. My F1 family petition was changed to IR2 before my flight to the US. Since I am on a non-immigrant visa, will it be appropriate to file AoS? I would go back home for consular processing but my current sponsor wants to file another J1, which I am assuming I won't be getting due to the IR2 category (I will be keeping the immigrant petition on hold for the other J1 as that is beneficial for my career). Even if I file AoS, is there a chance my IR2 category would be converted back to F1 for any reason? If this happens, would I be able to get another non-immigrant visa? What are my options here? I don't want to be in visa limbo as that would affect my career.
