So your friend have a priority date of June XX, 2008 and it is still pending the case was submitted when the sponsor was a Permanent Resident and still is. if she becomes a US. Citizen then her unmarried son who is over 21 will have to wait longer. No she/he will not start from 0 days but instead they move into a different category. Now they are in the category F2B and they will move to the F3 category. Her son will have to wait 2-3 years longer when I compared the December 2010 - March 2011 Visa Bulletin which her son must abide by (subjected to) prior to the retrogression of the cut off dates.

December 2010 Visa Bulletin http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5197.html

March 2011 Visa Bulletin http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5337.html

Hope this helped.

The above answer is incorrect. Assuming the son doesn't get married, he moves from category 2B to 1, and as per the March bulletin, the priority date will actually move UP two years: http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5337.html He will still have to wait another 3 years or so until his case moves on to interview stage though, as they are currently working on Jan 05 for unmarried sons of US citizens.

Guess i was looking at the wrong category but true it's incorrect. Sorry poster I looked at the married child instead of single child of USC but any how same concept with different dates.
