You both have F2-A on your profiles, is that right? If so your PD’s aren’t current yet and so there’s no visa available anyway. 
 

Or is yours an IR5 case @wheondo?

They are IR-2's according to the NVC website. I'm just waiting for the interview date. I had filed for my husband with our children as derivatives, but he found another woman and doesn't want to come. I canceled that visa and filed for my children on Sept 22, 2022.I became a citizen after I filed.
