Help! What do I do now?

[msamabibi 2]

My Immigrant F22 visa has been approved since April 2021 and an interview has been scheduled for Sept 2024, in Lagos, Nigeria (interview appointment letter sent on Jul 2024)

 

At the start of my case in December 2015, I, the principal applicant was unmarried, under 21, did not have a child and the petitioner (my mother) was a green card holder

 

Now, my petitioner is a citizen. I, the applicant, 29, married (February 2021) and have a child as (April 2024)

 

What course of action should I follow?

1. Should I go ahead and attend my scheduled interview?
2. Should I change my visa status? If yes, what procedures should I follow?
3. Can a status change and update be adjusted and expedited to keep my visa interview date?

Depends when you got married (month/year), when your mother became a citizen (month/year). If you got married before your mother became a USC, that petition is dead.

@milimelo she became a citizen in June 2022. This means the petition is dead?

What's the best course of action? Does she need to start a new application or can this update be communicated to the NVC to change status?

When did your mother become a citizen? Have you informed NVC of your marriage?

New petition. The previous one died when you got married.

She became a citizen in June 2022. 

At the time my case was approved but was awaiting an interview date.

After the birth of my child, I submitted my marriage certificate and other documents to my ceac portal but they have not been reviewed or approved by nvc

You’re no longer eligible for that visa.   Your mother can submit a new petition for married child of USC.

Sounds like the petition died as soon as you got married. Your mother will have to petition for you again and start from scratch, but on the plus side this means your husband and child can be included. 

 

She was supposed to contact NVC and tell them of the change to your status.

Your Mother needs to file a new I 130

 

You will be in the F3 category.
