My case was changed from F2A to F2B what now?

[Blanquiz 0]

My father is an LPR. He filed an I-130 for my mother as beneficiary with myself and 3 other siblings as derivatives on 4/19/2019. He received notification of the immigrant visa case creation on 4/14/20. All fees were paid; however, because my father did not earn enough money to sponsor us and because he could not find a co-sponsor we are still trying to get all of the necessary documents to the NVC for their final approval.  On 12/23/2022 my father received an email notifying him of an action taken on our case by NVC. The action we discovered was to remove me and my younger brother from the case as I am now age 23 and my brother is age 22. My father sent a message to the NVC asking why this action was taken and he received the answer that our case was reviewed for eligibility under the CSPA and we were determined to be not eligible. 

I have a few questions about the process for what happens next. Does my father need to file another I-130 for my brother and me or are cases automatically created for us under the F2B category? Does my father need to notify the NVC that we are still interested in pursuing our immigration to the US? My father has not received any letters notifying us of a new case creation or of a new case number.

The change is automatic, you don't need to do a thing. 

 

Only issue is that the date went from being current now for the F2A, to waiting 22 years for the F2B to become current.

Normally due to the number of for ever increasing applications I for simplicity add 50% to the timeline, I seem to remember Mexico is stuck due to the large number of Amnesty cases so not sure what to say here.

Should we be getting some notice in the mail about our new case number? It’s been since 12-23 and we haven’t received anything. Also will we need to do another Form 260 and pay another $325 and another Affidavit of support fee of $120  on the new case?

You can contact the consulate to get some sort of letter to confirm the change. 

 

And yes, you will need to pay the fees when your category becomes current, which will be around 2045. I guess the fees will be higher then.
