They plan to use their immigration visa, and after arriving, they have a few pending matters in India, like selling some belongings. That's why they will return to India to handle these tasks before coming back to settle here permanently.

When will that happen?

I am not sure how you expect to get a sensible response providing contradictory information.

 

So best to appoint a Lawyer and make sure they have all the information.

The principal beneficiary will have to be admitted in the US as LPR with immigrant visa before op (derivative beneficiary) can even attempt AOS.

 

Now concerning the in February 2023 CSPA methodology, I'm not sure how it plays out for op. If principal applicant were to be adjusting based on Chart B, then it's clear cut, op could also adjust. But this is the situation where principal applicant is going to be based on Chart A and derivative applicant is based on Chart B. Since this CSPA method based on 'dates for filing' is a fairly new change, I'm not sure how it plays out for op but probably a chance. Op could be a case study for VJ.

I already know one similiar case like me and they got AOS approval.

Without the primary beneficiary gaining LPR?

It is a similar case but not identical. I have already had my medical examination in India. And It is only one case that's why I put this thread. This thread might help others, too.

No primary beneficiary entered the US then the children applied through AOS.

Apart from that, should I wait 90 days before applying for an adjustment of status? I recently re-entered the U.S. after going to India for a medical examination at the end of May 2024. My parents will arrive in the second week of July.

There is some consensus about waiting for 90 days (from the day you entered the US) before applying for an Adjustment of Status.

Why?

Hello everyone,

I have a situation regarding my adjustment of status (AOS) and am seeking advice on whether to apply for the F2B visa category as well.

Background:

  • My uncle sponsored my parents under the F4 family-based visa category, and they successfully received their green cards.
  • I was a derivative beneficiary of this petition but did not attend the interview with my parents because I was already in the US as an F1 student.
  • After my parents received their green cards, I applied for my AOS based on the F4 category since I was here on an F1 visa.

Question: Since my parents already have their green cards, is it advisable for me to apply for an F2B visa (as a child of a permanent resident) simultaneously? Would this have any impact on my ongoing AOS application based on the F4 category?

Any insights or similar experiences shared would be greatly appreciated!

You can apply in as many categories as you like. But if you're F2B then how old are you? Have you aged out of the F4 application or is that still viable? If so, I don't really see the point of applying under F2B as well as the F4 should be much quicker.
