Inquiry About Concurrent F3 Application While F4 Application is in Progress

[Volserv 2]

My brother, who is on an F4 application, recently got married and successfully added his wife to his application (as an accompanying dependant).

 

Coincidentally, his mother-in-law (who is the mother of his wife) became a naturalized citizen a few months ago.

 

Is it possible for the mother-in-law to apply for her daughter and my brother under the F3 category while the F4 application is still in progress?

 

Kindly advise. Thank you all.

Yes the mother in law can file . .as others indicated.

Doesn’t seem like much of an advantage when you look at the visa bulletin between the two categories. ..especially assuming the F-4 petition is at least 2 years old already.

Hello, the wife's mother can file for her and both application can be concurrent, because you can have two application with the USCIS. As soon as one is ready to be adjudicated, you'll withdrawal one. I had to withdrawal my green card renewal application because my naturalization was adjudicated before the green card extension was. This happened because I joined the military, while I was at my citizenship interview, I had to write a withdrawal letter same day, so I can become a citizen. I hope this will help you. Cheers
