IR2 Visa Validity & Rescheduling

[Volaria Sal 0]

I am an IR-2 Visa applicant. In 2015, my biological mother divorced my biological father, then my mother married my stepfather in 2020. And my stepfather opened a case under the IR-2 visa type for me. I want to ask if this is valid because he does not have any official document about adopting me, he just married my biological mother. Also, I am going to have an IR-2 interview soon. The day before, NVC sent me an email notifying me of the interview schedule for May 6 2025, but this interview schedule overlapped with the exam schedule, so I rescheduled it on the website http://usvisascheduling.com. Before that, my family told me to go there to register an account, then register an address so they could send the visa. Then they found out that the interview schedule overlapped with my school's exam schedule, so my family told me to reschedule. When they rescheduled, they said I had to close the current application and start a new one. Then I filled in all the information and selected the interview schedule (as shown on the screen). When I clicked on it, it popped up an "Access Limitation" error, and I asked them to wait another 24 hours to reschedule. At that time, I didn't notice that my email had successfully rescheduled (1 hour after that error). The next day, I rescheduled as usual (I rescheduled on May 22 2025, 16 days after the original date), then checked my email and found out that they had sent it. At this time, they announced that the appointment had been canceled, and added a new email that the reschedule was successful. When I logged back into the usvisascheduling system, there was no longer a "Transaction Confirmation", but instead it had a more complete "Appointment Confirmation" with the interview date and time, but the MV Fee section in the Appointment Confirmation did not appear. When I finished my appointment and looked for more information, I found out that the website USTravelDocs said: "You may only schedule a new visa interview appointment if you missed your previously scheduled immigrant visa interview appointment. If you schedule a visa interview appointment before the date of your initial immigrant visa interview appointment or meet any of the conditions below, you will not be interviewed. So there are some questions that I need your assistance: 

1. Is my case valid if my biological mother was not the petitioner?

2. In conclusion, is it correct that I will not be interviewed? (Because I have rescheduled the interview date as stated on the website)

3. After rescheduling the interview date, do I need to fill out anything else? Because they told me to bring the Appointment Letter (in the COVER SHEET) sent by NVC, but I have already rescheduled the interview date, so I don't know if that's okay.

4. The person who sent the successful reschedule letter was not sent by NVC, but by the usvisascheduling website, so is that okay?

 

Thank you so much!

As long as your mother married your stepfather before your 18th birthday then you’re considered his child for visa purposes. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-8

 

No idea on the interview, sorry. 
 

Good luck.
