I am currently a graduate student on an F1 visa. I have an APPROVED Family Based Immigrant Petition, category F2B (Unmarried child 21 years/older of Permanent Resident) with priority date almost due since I have been contacted by the NVC. Somewhere along the line, I got married (after the petition approval) of which I indicated to the Consular on my application form when I was applying for my student’s visa.
Now I want to do Adjustment of Status through my approved family based petition, and I do not intend to do that with my wife and kids who are still living in my home country. However, because I indicated on my student’s visa application that I was married, I have indicated on the AOS forms as such. That notwithstanding, the title of my AOS cover letter reads “Family Based (Unmarried child 21 years/older of Permanent Resident) Adjustment of Status Application with attached Approval Notice”.
Will my marriage have an effect on my AOS, even though I am applying alone?
Thanks.![]()
