F2B marriage problem
Need advice on a family-based immigrant visa situation because we’re really stressed.
My aunt is from the Dominican Republic. Her mother (green card holder, not U.S. citizen) filed an I-130 for her with a priority date of February 2018. The visa category showing is F24/F2B.
We recently found a Dominican marriage certificate showing my aunt has been legally married since 2006.
We are confused how the case was even approved/processed in the F2B category if that category is for unmarried adult sons/daughters of permanent residents.
Questions:
Has anyone seen a case like this where USCIS/NVC allowed it to move forward anyway?
If the applicant divorces now before interview, does that help at all, or does being married at the original filing date make the case invalid?
Could this have been a preparer/paralegal filing mistake?
Has anyone had an embassy interview where a marital status issue like this came up?
