Interview coming up in 3 weeks. I already turned 21. How much decision power does the consular officer have?

Hi everyone!

My interview is approaching and I'm waiting for a miracle.

My dad is a US resident and started a case for my mom and me in 2018. At the time of filling I was 20, but now I am 24.

We have our interview coming up in some weeks, and I was checking that the CSPA (Child Status Protection Act) freezes your age for the time your I-130 was being processed. However, the math ends up with me being 22-23 anyways sooo, not eligible.

We have been paying for all the corresponding forms, the medical exams, vaccines, and all requirements that the USCIS has. I am included in my mom's case number as a child, but I am no longer under 21.

We started another case back then in 2015 (where my dad became a resident in 2018), with my siblings as sponsors/petitioners. My mom and me were included in that case but we both got denied, as she is her step-mother, and I am a half-brother. Only my dad got lucky.

That being said, I was wondering if the consular officer has any decision power on granting me an immigrant Visa. We already know that I don't qualify for the CSPA, and therefore don't fit the requirements.

Soo, my question is: Can the consular officer make a miracle? Can he decide that I get my immigrant Visa regardless of my current adult status?

My four siblings live in the US and my parents will be emigrating so it would really suck if I get denied and have to stay in my home country by myself. I have no one else here.

tl;dr: Applied as a child. No longer a child. Interview coming up. Is it possible I still get a Visa?

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...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
