Alhamdulilah. My child’s I-130 approved on 08/25/2022.Update on case 09/01/2022
09/01/2022 - Update on cases.
My spouse and child got the visa on 09/01/2022 at US consulate,Mumbai.India.
I-130 was approved a week after being expedited.
Texas Service center.
My child was added as a derivative on my spouse’s approved case. However, she was removed from the case as I became a citizen and upgraded the category from F2A to IR1. For those who don’t know, the IR category does not allow derivatives. I had to submit a new petition for the child after the category was upgraded. I expedited the petition on 08/18/2022 and received expedited approved notice on 08/23/2022. Status changed to Actively reviewing the second time on the morning of 08/25/2022.In the afternoon, the petition was approved. Special thanks to @Andy God for helping me expedite the case, and Special thanks to @Shamondy Oyelowo for the information.

The spouse’s visa interview has been scheduled for September, and the child’s petition is still pending. So I want to expedite the petition on humanitarian grounds.

aro sheSep 2, 2022
how expedite to uscis?
Matin VohraSep 13, 2022
@aro she
Could you expedite your case at uscis stage ? You need to call them and let them know your situation.
Mike kSep 19, 2022
hello@ Matin Vohra if the case at USCIS stage still you need file I130 for the child
Matin VohraSep 19, 2022
@Khalid elhendi.If your child born after you have submitted for your spouse as an LPR, you just can add child with prinicipal applicant at NVC stage.If you are citizen then you have file separate petition for each applicant.
Mike kSep 20, 2022
my child born first and I file I130 as lpr for my wife and add my child on the file and then after been US citizen I upgrade my case and then approved but still the at uscis they didn’t send it to NVC yet, so what I do now, thanks in advance
Matin VohraSep 20, 2022
You must file an i-130 petition for your child as the IR category does not allow derivate(child) on the same petition.
Once you receive the receipt notice/case number from uscis, try to expedite your case.
nav kOct 2, 2022
I change My category they said f2a to ir1. I received the mail that my case under review . what’s that mean?
