Hello folks,

A quick question if someone can help us with we would be very appreciative...Robert and Mai

If you have a green card with conditions (received green card before two years of marriage) can you still apply to bring your unmarried children to the US. Or do you have t wait to file once the conditions have been lifted?

they are too old to FTJ on a "K" visa

A PR can file at any time (conditions or not conditions)

They will be F2B and about an 8 year wait for a visa number

The visa category is F2B, and would currently take about 8 years (except for Mexico and Philippines). She can upgrade the petition to F1 when she get's her citizenship, which will knock a couple of years off the wait time.

Once she has her Green card she is a LPR... and can start the process...

Thanks to all for your input. We will apply once we have the green card and will upgrade once Mai becomes a US citizen
