Q: If I get married after two years of a pending GC would I still be considered an immediate family member of my mother?
Hello,
my sister and I came to the US in 2009 as asylees through our father. He then became a US citizen. Two years ago our US citizen mother filed for my sister and I to adjust status and that’s still pending because we had to do a nunc pro tunc. Question is, my financee and I want to get married but if we do get married does that affect my status as being my mother’s immediate family member even though I was single and under 21 when we filed? Would this delay my green card in any way?
Thank you for any help/ advice in advance!
A:
Is your fiancé a U. S. citizen? If so, then he can file an immigrant visa petition for you and you can adjust status, so long as your entry was lawful.
