Hello VJ's members, Good day! I have a question? can a Legal Permanent Resident bring her kid 25 yrs old single to the US

while she is on a Removing Of Conditions and her husband died while she is on ROC.

Please help us answer my friend's quiry she is really confused after her husband's loss.

The unmarried child would fall under F2B, and is currently taking about 9-10 years for for the visa to be available (for folks from the Phillipines).

B. (F2B) Unmarried Sons and Daughters (21 years of age or older) of Permanent Residents: 23% of the overall second preference limitation.

Hi umka36 what does it means of the 23% of the overall second preference limitation?

Also as long as the petitioner is an LPR the child must remain unmarried

Second: Spouses and Children, and Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Permanent Residents: 114,200, plus the number (if any) by which the worldwide family preference level exceeds 226,000, plus any unused first preference numbers:

A. (F2A) Spouses and Children of Permanent Residents: 77% of the overall second preference limitation, of which 75% are exempt from the per-country limit;

B. (F2B) Unmarried Sons and Daughters (21 years of age or older) of Permanent Residents: 23% of the overall second preference limitation.

Basically the F2B category cannot exceed 23% of the available visa for the F2 preference (the other being F2A which is limited to 77%).
