wrong visa# preference category (Immigration Law)

Sun, 29 Jan 2006 16:28:00 GMT

Louisiana
My husband just got a letter saying that the visa agency has my case, but the letter says that there are no visa numbers available and I'll have to wait. I'm listed as being in preference category F2A - spouses and unmarried children of permanent resident, which was true when we initially started filing in 2004 but my husband has since become a US citizen. I've seen on the USCIS website where I should immediately get a visa number, but we're not sure how to go about getting my preference category changed.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.

  • Where are you currently? In the US or abroad? If in the US, in what status are you currently? Do you already have an approved I-13 petition?
    Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

    Your spouse must contact the National Visa Center (travel.state.gov) and inform them of his new status. Ask for instructions on Adjusting Status if you are in the US, or applying for an Immigrant Visa if you are abroad.
