Priority Date Questions

[robertwdalton 0]

As a LPR we filed an I-130 for our daughter. It was approved and we received a priority date of February 7, 2011. The preference classification was F2B Unmarried Sons and Daughters (21 years of age or older) of Permanent Residents

The following changes take place:

1. Daughter marries October 10, 2012 (before petitioner becomes a Naturalized US Citizen)

2. Petitioner becomes a Naturalized US Citizen on March 1, 2014

Here are our questions:

1. Since our daughter married while petitioner was still an LPR and now the petitioner is a Naturalized US Citizen, does our daughter lose her priority date?

2. Does our daughter get to keep her priority date and become eligible under the (F3) Married Sons and Daughters of U.S. Citizens?

I know that getting married will change our daughter’s preference classification. What I am not sure about is the impact on her priority date? Does her priority date get revoked because she married while petitioner was an LPR and now the petitioner is now a Naturalized US Citizen?

Thanks,

Mai and Robert
