Hello, everyone. I just became a U.S. citizen and this week l received the WL from NVC for my son. He is in Colombia, and his currently category is F2B but according to my knowledge his category will change automatically after my naturalization to F1. Anyway, l want my son to keep his F2B so far. However, l am not sure if this category could suffer a visa retrogress in the future due to all these "stranger things" situation: EO, COVID-19, furloughs, etc. and l would like to wait the opt out of F1 just in case. My question is: how long does NVC to approve an opt out of F1? Then USCIS? l want to be as prepared as possible and make the best decision so he can immigrate as soon as possible.
Any suggestions?
TIA
