Bringing my child and daughter f2A

[Miss1 0]

Hello guys please I need help. I filed an i 130 for my kids F2A and it got approved.  But I made an error  for not putting the embassy where they need to do there interview.  So USCIS asked me to submit an i 824 for each applicant,  which I did about 2months ago. I want to know how long and what can be a quicker step to make USCIS send there approved petition to NVC. TIA.

Unfortunately this can take a year. 
 

When was the child born?

They are 21 and 23years old. Is there any other ways I can to help it quicker. 

And also I have yet to receive the receipt numbers, it's almost 3moths since I filed the form i 824

You need to hire a lawyer.  
 

There is now a danger they will age out. The 23 year old might have already aged out.

But from my research, uscis holds onto the age as soon as you file the i 130. Are they still going to age out since both are like over 21?

“

If you are a family preference (including VAWA self-petition), employment-based preference, or diversity visa (DV) applicant, calculate your CSPA age by subtracting the number of days your petition was pending (pending time) from your age on the date an immigrant visa becomes available to you (age at time of visa availability). However, you must remain unmarried in order to qualify.

The formula for calculating CSPA is:

1. You didn’t fill out I-130 correctly. 
 

2. You  misunderstood CSPA

 

You need a lawyer to possibly recover from your mistakes and to prevent future mistakes.

No, the age does not get frozen when you file the I-130.

 

The age is frozen when the applicant (beneficiary children in this case) seeks-to-acquire.  I.E., they file the DS-260 at the NVC stage.

 

Up until that time, you  will need to use the CSPA calculation to see if they will or have aged out.

 

Speed is key for both children.  Otherwise, their category will change to F2B and take 7+ more years.

Please clarify -- are you a US citizen?  In another thread, you said you are a USC.  If so, your children's cases would not be F2A.  They would be IR2 or F1, depending on the age of your children when you filed the I-130 for them or when you naturalized (if applicable).

Hello guys I need help. I filed for my child when he was under 21 and he got his approval under f2A but I was required to filed for i 824 by this time he is over 21 during the time I filed the i 824, now the i 824 is approved and the have now sent the approval to nvc but when I login at nvc, it's showing f24 under the visa class. My question is, did nvc made a mistake or an error to place my child at f24 instead of f22, since his petition was approved under 21. Please help.

When was the petition approved and when did you file the I-864?

 

And are you a citizen or an LPR?
