Moving up from F2B family-based preference to F1
Hello, I’d like to know whether an F2B (family-based second preference, category B) green card holder can move up to first preference. I’d also like to know how to go about doing that.
Does my existing priority date also change?
If, while waiting with an F2B priority date, your parent becomes a U.S. citizen, USCIS needs to update your case to first-preference status as a U.S. citizen’s child. However, your existing priority date is preserved.
