I-130, Famil Based 2B change to 2A possible ?

[roomania]

Hi All,

Hope you guys are doing well. I am 25 years old and my father (a legal permenant resident) filed an I-130 for me with priority date April 10, 2008 (under category 2B). This will take approximately another 6-7 years for the visa to be available. However i am getting married to a permenant resident, does this mean that i will get bumped up to category 2A ? And based on the current dates from the visa bulletin (current date Aug, 2007), will i get my visa within the next year ? Also if this stands true what is the process of getting my category changed from 2B to 2A or will my spouse filing for my green card be treated as a new case with a new priority date etc ? Would appreciate any help you guys can provide.

Thanks

If you marry your F2B petition will automatically be revoked bec there is no category for an LPR petitioning a married son/daughter. Your wife has to file a new petition and you will have a new PD. This will be in F2A category.
