Losing right to be a derivative?

[Pigletrma 3]

My stepdaughter applied under my wife who was a permanent resident at the time. Stepdaughter was an adult , unmarried (F2b) She had a young daughter at the time that was included as a derivative.  A year later, she had another daughter who has not been added as of yet. 4 years later my wife became a citizen. Is it possible for my stepdaughter to move forward as  F1  without losing the right for her daughters to be included as beneficiaries? Or, does she need to ask that her status revert to f2b?

The F1 category allows for derivatives, so it really depends on the priority date of the daughter whether to switch from F2B to F1 relative to the current visa bulletin.

 

Good Luck!
