* I am a citizen of India. I am in my early 30s. I am in the US on a H1-B. I am unmarried.
* My mother became a Permanent Resident a few years ago.
* Upon becoming a permanent resident, my mother filed a permanent residency application for me in the F2B category (Unmarried Sons and Daughters 21 years+ of Permanent Residents).
* My mother then became a US Citizen.
Since my mother became a Citizen:
# Does the previously filed application in F2B category become invalid? Or does it stay valid because when it was filed my mother was a Permanent Resident? Final action date of F2B (Sep 09) is ahead of F1 (Nov 08) category right now.
# If the previously filed application become invalid, is the best course of action to send a letter to INS to change the application from F2B to F1 category, so that the priority date transfers over?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
