    I’d suggest filing now and upgrade when you become a citizen, unless you already have an interview scheduled and know you are near the end of the process.

    I already had an interview scheduled, was also prepared for the test too but got cancelled due to COVID-19. I could have taken my oath back in July if this pandemic didn’t happen. ☹️

    hi

     

    how did you receive your green card, meaning who filed for you and when did you get your geen card, and on what basis would you qualify for follow to join?

     

     

    I got my GC through K1 visa in 2016, decided to move here and settled down first while waiting for my daughter to decide for herself if she wants to move here with us. Now, after 4 years, she’s now ready (by the way she’s 12yo), I was thinking about the follow-to-join benefits, if I can still avail it now that I just recently filed my naturalization.

    No ime limit on ftj (you are thinking of k2 maybe?). However... if you no longer have the valid status under which follow to join is valid (in this case the green card) then they can’t do it, which is the case if person naturalizes (see below), same if the relationship has statutorily changed (such as child aged out, divorced) and in all those cases would have to petition for relative of citizen. No mention by OP of daughter’s age.


    From the FAM

    https://fam.state.gov/FAM/09FAM/09FAM050201.html

    Basis for Following-to-Join:  The term “following to join,” as used in INA 101(a)(27)(C) and INA 203(d), permits an alien to obtain an NIV or IV and the priority date of the principal alien as long as the alien following to join has the required relationship with the principal alien.  There is no statutory time period during which the following-to-join alien must apply for a visa and seek admission into the United States.  However, if the principal has died or lost status, or the relationship between the principal and derivative has been terminated, there is no longer a basis to following to join.  As an example, a person would no longer qualify as a child following to join upon reaching the age of 21 years (unless they qualify for the benefits of the Child Status Protection Act, see 9 FAM 502.1-1(D) below) or by entering into a marriage.  There is no requirement that the following-to-join alien must take up residence with the principal alien in order to qualify for the visa.  The term “following to join” also applies to a spouse or child following to join a principal alien who has adjusted status in the United States.

    ....

    Effect of Principal Alien’s Naturalization on Derivative Status:  A “following-to-join” derivative must immigrate to the United States prior to any naturalization as a U.S. citizen.  If the alien fails to immigrate prior to any naturalization the citizen must file an immediate relative petition for the family members.

    Thank you so much for this info SusieQQQ.

    Hi everyone. 
     

    I have been researching about the form I-824 (follow-to join). I’ve already filed a Petition for Naturalization a few months ago, just waiting for biometrics and interview schedule but I was just wondering if I can still file an I-824 for my daughter who is still in the Philippines.  

    Has anybody here had an experience like this?

    I need your help please....

    what willbe required for infopass appointment? I thought they will require the extension letter for info pass appointment

    I'm guessing you don't need the extension letter to get an InfoPass Appointment. Just tell them your status and that you've lost your extension letter and when you come to your appointment, bring whatever documents you have like your expired GC, valid I, etc.
