    Default Can You Change Your Preference Category for Family-Based Immigration

    If an immigrant is the subject of a petition for permanent residency through a sibling, in the F4 preference category, can they later change that category? If the immigrant's parent becomes a citizen, can they change from the F4 preference category to F3, while keeping the same petition date in effect?

    Default Re: Can You Change Your Preference Category for Family-Based Immigration

    If the petitioner is a LPR and you later becomes a U.S. citizen, it is possible to upgrade the petition. However, I am not aware of any upgrade mechanism for separate petitions.
