We've been waiting for our visa for exactly 2 weeks and five days now. I believe getting a pink slip doesn't assure an approval, i dont know..

I'm already 21 years old! Okay here's my case.

My grandfather petitioned us, my name was not included to the letter given by embassy. (that was given on Oct.10) Then my father asked why my name wasn't included, they said that because i was already 21 years old. (that was the age limit.) Only my younger brothers were included and my parents of course. After some conversation, they added my name on the letter, because somehow i was still on the age bracket because of the 45 days rule. (i became 21 on sept 28, the letter was given Oct 10, hence it is not yet over 45 days so i'm still included.) After that, everything went smoothly and recieved a pink slip (only) on Oct 23.

Okay here's the thing, IT WILL BE MY 45th DAY AS A 21 YEARS OLD TOMORROW!! Does that mean that i will not be eligible anymore to receive a visa? I don't know if any of you guys know the answer, because i guess my personal case is pretty rare. But still, any reply will be highly appreciated.

I really don't know what to do now.

My guess is that you will be able to go. The Child Status Protection Act allows you to subtract the time that it took INS/USCIS to process the petition for your father's benefit. My guess is that it took than 2 weeks (usually year to six years). Since you took affirmative steps to with the embassy, you will be protected.

Good luck.

P.S. Mention the Child Status Protection Act when you go to remind the Consular Officer.
