Hello Everyone,

Just trying to get all ducks in a row.

Currently on DACA myself, from visa overstay 20+ yrs ago.
USC Parent filed I-130 (unmarried adult children F1 category), and its approved.
NVC Visa is now current, so can apply for I-485, along with Surgeons medical forms, and i guess another I-765 form.

Am i missing anything? Working to identify a lawyer to do all the paperwork and guide me, but looking for comments on similar cases from DAP Family Please share your experience and timelines if possible.

I was recently approved for F2B. You will also need a financial sponsor unless you have 40 working credits via social security.

You'd need to be grandfathered under 245(i) to adjust as an F1 after an overstay. If that's the case then you file as normal just include I-485 Supplement A and an extra $1000 fee.

If not then you have to do an I-601A and do consular processing.

If the parent Naturalizes before a petition is approved will I be moved from F2B to F1? Currently have a pending f2b petition and my parent is planning to naturalize
