I wanted to know what is the validity of PCC? Hopefully embassy will process all the backlogs at the earliest

@PriyaEK PCC is valid for one year from date of issuance.

My visa class   F22 (F2A)

PD; 11/10/2019

I130 APPROVAL DATE; 2/10/2021

DOB; 7/1/1999

DQ DATE; 3/1/2021

 

Could someone please help me to find out If I am still eligible for F22 visa under CSPA Rule or I will be aged out by the time I will have my interview,

All F2A priority dates are current at the moment. 
 

You won’t age out, you are already and will remain protected by CSPA - it’s not interview date that matters, it is that you “seek to acquire” a visa within one year of a visa becoming available - in practice for someone interviewing at a consulate, this “seek to acquire” requirement is fulfilled by submitting a DS260. With your PD being current (F2A has been current since July 2019], the date a visa became available to you was the date of petition approval. As you were DQ a few weeks after that you clearly met the time requirement for submission of DS260.

 

edit: I am assuming you have listed dates in the US convention of mm/dd/yyyy?
