  1. I am not sure if it is the same in every country, but in Colombia, the category F2B only need the beneficiary original birth certificate. (Only civil documents should be original). Civil documents are only for the beneficiary.
  2. I highly recommend getting married in Colombia and applying for an IR1 visa instead of a fiancée visa. A K1 is more expensive than an IR1 and she won’t be able to work until she gets an EAD or Green card. However, she won’t be able to bring her son as IR1, but she can with a K1. Food for thought.
  3. My son’s case was originally F2A but his case was returned to NVC after his interview because his category was converted to F2B. Finally, his PD is current in the visa bulletin and the NVC scheduled an interview for him for June 2024. However, when l check in the CEAC check status site, it still says “Returned to NVC.” Other beneficiaries status say “Ready.” When do you think is going to be updated by NVC? What should l do?
  4. According to a video they posted on YouTube last week, they will respond within 30 to 60 days from the received date of the document.
  5. Your Documentarily Qualified date refers to when your case was completed at the NVC (National Visa Center). What is your DQ date?
  6. When you report your U.S. citizenship status, the category will change to F1. If you see that the PD is current in F2B, then you should send an inquiry requesting to opt out from F1 to F2B. Usually, it takes 15 days (at least in my case). You can do it right away because the waiting time for F2B is shorter than F1 but with them, we never know.
  7. According to the latest visa bulletin (May 2024), the Philippines is the only country where F1 is more advanced than F2B. Indonesia falls into “All chargeability areas.” You should notify NVC because if you do not, the consul will discover it during the interview and then the case of your son will be put in administrative process while they ask for DHS authorization on your behalf. It would be better to do that in advance (send an inquiry to NVC). However, wait until the priority date, Sep 2016, is current in the chart A, whether it is in F1 or F2B, to take action (Opt out of the conversion to F1 and remain an F2B visa applicant).
  8. What is the country of origin of your son? I am asking because the F2B category might be faster than F1 depending on the country. Anyway, you should notify the NVC that you are now U.S. citizen. He will convert to F1. However, he can opt out to F1 if F2B is more convenient. Please check the latest visa bulletin. Lastly, filing another petition won’t help at all. You don’t need to do it. A new petition will start from scratch and it will take almost 9 years.
  9. No. You don’t have to send the original affidavit of support by mail. You will find the following information in the interview letter:  If a financial sponsor submitted an I-864 Affidavit of Support form, you must give the consular officer a signed version. It can be a photocopy, but the signature cannot be typed or electronic. There is also a video in YouTube posted last week by the U.S. embassy in Bogotá where they talk about this topic.
