Last February 2020, I was able to passed the interview and was issued an IR2 immigrant visa. I was 21 yrs old at that time. They said I'm protected under CSPA. So I booked a ticket to the US, April 19. My visa was expiring on the 24th of April 2020. My flight got cancelled because during that time, it was a world wide lockdown. Now, since COVID was inevitable, I was able to process my replacement visa. They had me took a medical examination again, but they didn't interview me since I was applying for a "replacement visa". But then, they notified me that I am ineligible for the visa because of Trump's proclamation and asked me to contact them after March 31. When I read Trump's proclamation, it says there all who has IR2 Visas are exempted.
I was really devastated and I want to clarify things out. Can somebody help me? It was clearly not my fault that I wasn't able to fly out of the country.
Hoping for responses. Thank you
