Ok thanks at least it look it might reach June in October bulletin

It's great that F1 is moving in October, which mean F1 cases will have not to wait longer.

 

I want to share my experience in my interview. 
As I said, I filed for a F2B retention and got the interview letter 2 months later.

1 month before the interview, my case status changed from AT NVC to READY, which mean my documents were sent to the Consulate in my country.

2 weeks before the interview, when I check the case status, it said that my category was changed to F2B (previously F1).

 

In my interview, the consular officer noticed that my petitioner is a citizen, so she asked me if I want to keep my F2B status.

I said yes. Then she gave me a F2B opt out form to sign.

The content of this form is that I agree to keep my F2B status and I will not against them if I change my mind and want to upgrade to F1.

They also gave me a letter to promise that I will not marry until I enter the US with F2B visa.

Then she said my case was approved and I can wait for my visa.

 

4 days later, my case status changed from Ready to Administrative Processing and then Issued.

2 days later, I got my visa and a sealed envelope which contain my documents so I can submit to the CBP.

 

P/S: Please note that in some countries, such as Philippines, you will have to send a letter to DHS in Phillipinese and get their approval about F2B retention (opt out) before the interview. The consular officer may ask you go home and get that letter before they can approve your visa.

Sorry if I'm necro-ing this thread but...

Anyone have experience of recent questions COs are asking during interview of unmarried sons/daughters over 21? Especially in the Philippines? Please share them.
