Questions about F3 visa and risk of getting rejected (complicated situation, aging out, etc.)

Hi there! My situation is quite complicated, so apologies in advance.

When I was around 2 years old, my parents flew to the USA on a tourist visa to visit my grandparents who live there, and my mom was pregnant. She gave birth to my sister there. They never confirmed with me if it was intentional or not, but my sister was given citizenship there, and shortly after, my parents were caught doing this and they said they were not allowed back into the US for a decade.

About 8 years later after my sister was born, my dad asked my grandfather to apply for F3 visas for me and my parents when I was a minor (around 9-10 y.o.). I’m 23 now, and the applications have yet to be accepted/rejected. According to my mom, our applications might be reviewed next year (she checks on a website for estimated dates).

For some reason, my dad forced my mom to apply for a student visa in the US around 2012, and she signed me up as a dependent. It got rejected because my mom couldn’t even answer the interviewer when he asked her what she planned to study (facepalm). Because she got rejected, my parents tell me I got rejected as a dependent too.

I’m not obsessed with the idea of moving to the US like my parents are, but a few years ago, I met my now-boyfriend and he just so happens to be American. He doesn’t want to live in my country (Japan) because he’s not interested in learning Japanese, so he asked me to consider moving to the US with him if we plan on getting married in the future.

I’ve held grudges against my parents due to their previous immigration history, but I don’t want to be angry anymore. I just want to understand what to expect in the future.. so here are the questions I’d like to ask:

  1. Are my parents at risk of getting their F3 visas rejected because of what they did?

  2. Am I still protected by CSPA when it comes to my F3 application or is it no longer valid?

  3. If my F3 visa gets declined because I aged out, does it mean it was rejected or does it all become invalid?

  4. If my boyfriend and I plan on getting married in the future, can I apply for a fiancé/spouse visa? And am I at risk of getting my fiancé/spouse visa denied because my F3 visa was denied?

Thank you and sorry for the long text.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

Navigating the U.S. Family-Based Immigration Visa Process

For families hoping to immigrate to the United States, the visa process can be overwhelming. With so much uncertainty and complexity involved, it's important to have a clear understanding of the steps and requirements. The first step is determining which family-based immigration visa applies to you. There are two types: immediate relatives and family preference. The former includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under the age of 21 who are U.S. citizens. Family preference visas are for more distant relatives such as siblings, married children of U.S. citizens, and spouses and unmarried children of permanent residents. Once you know which visa you're eligible for, you'll need to file a petition with USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). This step requires providing documentation such as birth certificates and marriage licenses, as well as proof of your relationship to the U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsoring you. After your petitio...
