Please advise re Category Question

[Mom and Son 8]

I filed for my son when he was 19 years old and two years later when his priority date was current my son received an interview from the American Embassy in Colombia. During the interview, my son received a letter telling him he does not qualify for this visa category because he is over the age of 21 and CSPA does not apply on his case, and his visa was refused.

His case on CEAC shows his case was returned to NVC and my question is if NVC will change his category from F2A to F2B automatically or do I need to  do something else to request a change in category?

I want to know what it is the procedure for this kind of situation.

Thank you in advance.

You can’t change the category because you can’t turn back time. Just like they said, he has aged out of the F2A category so he is considered an adult.

 

Nothing more you can do be wait until his New priority date becomes available.

I think the OP is asking if he has to contact NVC to tell them to change it to F2B or if they will do so automatically.

What is his birthdate, the I-130's PD, and the I-130's approval date?

On Jan 1st, 2018, his CSPA-adjusted age was 21 years and 0 month old. So yes, he turned 21 and CSPA no longer covers him.

Yes! Unfortunately CSPA does not apply in his case. My question is if NVC will change his category automatically or do l need to do something else.

  Extremely sorry your son visa category will change into f2b because CSPA cant protect him

Yes! I am very sad.

Thank you!!

Yeah, sorry...I've seen some close calls but this is the closest I've seen.

 

NVC should change the category to F2B automatically, but giving them a heads up to make sure isn't bad either.

I called NVC,  but they have not received his case yet so the agent was not sure what to say about  it.
