I'm getting mixed answers, so I want to ask here if I get to retain my Priority Date when I'm converted to F1? or do I still have to contact NVC and ask that my PD is retained? F1 seems to be moving fast so I may not decide to opt out.

Once your petitioner became US citizen, you are no longer F2B, you have to inform NVC about it. Your PD remains the same you had. If you'll see, that F2B is moving faster when your PD is getting current, you'll be able to opt-out from F1 to F2B.

Hi. i resubmitted my police certificate 2 months ago and nvc sent me this letter.:

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all the requested documentation for this immigrant visa case.  The applicant is now in the queue awaiting an interview appointment overseas, where a consular officer will adjudicate the applicant’s visa application. 

NVC schedules appointments one month in advance.  The U.S. Embassy tells us what dates they are holding interviews, and NVC fills these appointments as they become documentarily qualified.  Most appointments are set within three months of NVC’s receipt of all requested documentation.  However, before applicants in a numerically limited (preference) visa category can receive an appointment, their priority date must also be current.  This can delay receipt of an appointment.  You can track your priority date using the Visa Bulletin on travel.state.gov.
  
When an appointment is available, we will notify the applicant, petitioner and attorney (if applicable).  The applicant can prepare now by reading about the embassy’s interview requirements online at nvc.state.gov/interview. Thank you for your patience.

The embassy may require additional documents at the interview.  For example, if the following three items are all true, the applicant must bring a new police certificate to the visa interview:

•    He or she is more than 16 years old;
•    The police certificate submitted to NVC was obtained more than one year ago; and
•    He or she still lives in the country that issued the certificate.

The applicant should not make any travel arrangements, sell property, or give up employment until the embassy has issued a visa.

Sincerely,

National Visa Center
 

i just want to ask how long will it take for nvc to schedule the interview? Thanks.

This is your Case Closed letter, NVC will now wait to receive available interview dates from your embassy and in turn advise you. You could possibly get your date for November if you're lucky, but your wait shouldn't be for much longer.
