Affect on F1 (Student Visa) Application from F2B Process

[SMA21 0]

Hi,

My mother recently became a lawful permanent resident in the United States. She intends to apply for F2B for me (unmarried child over 21).

However, I recently graduated from university and intend to pursue masters in the US. I wanted to ask whether having F2B application under process will affect my chances of F1 (Student) Visa, even if I secure full funding for my studies at an educational institution not close to where she lives.

You've posted this in the AOS forum, but that's not relevant to you. Hopefully a kind mod will move it to the student visas forum.

 

This recent thread may be useful, there are many others if you search as well -

Hi, 

Thanks for the reply and apologies for posting in the wrong forum.

This was helpful.

No worries, as long as you're aware that AOS isn't relevant and that you'd have to return home to wait for your immigrant visa once any F1 expired? 

 

Personally, given the lengthy wait ahead of you, I'd get your mother to file asap, and then just see what happens with an F1 app. As per the other threads, the chances are slim but it will depend on your ties to your home country.

 

Good luck.
