Q: My wife was F2A visas with children and now is IR1 visa category . I do not see my kids on her profile on CEAC account.

A: In this situation, it's important to understand that when your wife's visa category changed from F2A (family-based second preference for spouses and children of permanent residents) to IR1 (immediate relative, spouse of a U.S. citizen), the visa category for your children should have also automatically changed.

Typically, when a spouse's category changes to IR1, the minor children's category should change to IR2 (immediate relative, unmarried child under 21 of a U.S. citizen). This change should be reflected in the CEAC (Consular Electronic Application Center) system.

If you don't see your children's profiles linked to your wife's IR1 visa case, it could be due to an administrative oversight or system glitch. Here's what you can do:

1. Contact the U.S. embassy or consulate handling your case to inquire about your children's visa status and ensure they are properly linked to your wife's case.

2. Provide the consular officer with all the relevant information, including your children's names, dates of birth, and case numbers (if available).

3. If necessary, you may need to submit additional documentation to prove the relationship between your children and your wife.

It's crucial to address this issue promptly to avoid any delays in processing your family's visa applications. The consular staff should be able to guide you on the necessary steps to rectify the situation and ensure your children's visa applications are processed correctly under the IR2 category.
