F2a - IOE - with NOIR
My priority date is December 2022, and I got approved in my case on January 2024. But on November 2024 I got a NOIR the reason is because they explained me in a letter that my case was approved when my category isn’t current because the visa bulletin got a regress . Now it’s more than 1 year and a half and I don’t hear back anything from them. it’s frustrating ugh!!! Somebody in the same situation? or know what’s next?

You are not the only person who experienced this. In some F2A cases USCIS approved the petition when the category later retrogressed in the visa bulletin. When that happens they sometimes issue a Notice of Intent to Revoke saying the approval happened when a visa number was not actually available.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!.

@Manifest Law I don’t have any idea that so many people it’s in the same boat, however did you know or did you have any information about what happens after? I mean what’s next because I received the NOIR in November2024, it’s almost a year and a half and I didn’t received any update in my case.
