Q: Can someone apply for dependent visa, if green card application has been filed already ?
If parents are in US and they file green card for their daughter (who is above 22 yrs old) living outside US , can daughter apply for F2 dependent visa if she gets married with F1 visa holder ? Does she need to cancel the ongoing application process ?
A:
This gets complicated. The answer is that she should avoid taking any and all action that will prejudice her. That includes withdrawal of the petition, but many other actions, as well.
A careful review of the facts in the form of a teleconference with a competent and experienced immigration attorney is the best option. There are a number of issues that should be discussed, and advice followed, for a number of actions which can have serious consequences. Good luck.
The above is general information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney client relationship.
A: She should be able to come on an F2 without impacting the visa case. She needs to make sure she abides by all terms of the F2 visa.
