Petitioner Became US CITIZEN

[Julz Genrals 1]

Good Day all. I petitioned my daughter when i was still a green card holder. Her PD is April 24,2014. I became US Citizen 6 years ago.

Do i have to inform NVC about my status?

Will that help the status of my daughter to be upgraded and proceed the processing at NVC?

What is DQ?

When can we receive a welcome Letter from NVC? Just getting confused of all what Im reading here. 

Thank you in advance for your help.

I assume she was over 21 when you petitioned her? Has the I-130 been approved yet or are you still waiting for that?

 

DQ is Documentary Qualified - sometimes called Documentary Complete. You'll receive a Welcome Letter from NVC once her PD is current on Table B on the Visa Bulletin

 

You should inform NVC, but whether or not she switches to category F1 is up to you, sometimes people opt out of the conversion as it actually has a longer wait. Once you get closer to a visa becoming available to her, you can see what is happening with each category and then make a decision.

 

Worth noting though, that if she changes from F2B to F1, she can get married and still get a visa (as the child of a LPR, she would have needed to remained unmarried to get one). So if she wishes to do that, that's one good thing from you becoming a citizen - although again it will lengthen her wait if she does.

Thank you for a thorough answers.

I filed when she was still 20y.o. and USCIS approved her petition a day after she turned 21.

She is still single.

Now I know what DQ means.

I will stick to her status as F2B since looking at the timeline, she is almost getting there.

Thanks again.

When you're considering a move to F1 or opting out of the conversion, do factor in past movement as well and don't assume it will be linear. So if you look at F2B today it's October 2012 for her category, so only 18 months until her date. However, it doesn't move like that. If you go back to the October 2020 bulletin, the date then was April 2012, so it's only moved forward 6 months in 5 years. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2021/visa-bulletin-for-october-2020.html
