What happens if I get married after filing under first-preference family sponsorship, but before receiving an interview date?
I was sponsored under first-preference family-based immigration as the unmarried adult child of a U.S. citizen. But I’ve suddenly decided to get married — what happens if I marry after filing but before receiving an interview date?
Since first-preference family sponsorship applies specifically to the unmarried adult child of a citizen, if you register your marriage, your category would change to third preference.
