Can F2B children accompany?

The F2B visa is intended for unmarried adult children (aged 21 or over) of lawful permanent residents in the United States. Because of this, the children of these beneficiaries are generally not included in the same petition. In other words, the children of the F2B beneficiary cannot ”accompany” the process as dependents, since this visa does not offer that type of derivative benefit.

It is important to understand that, unlike some adjustment of status processes or visas where spouses and minor children can be included, the F2B category is specific to the principal beneficiary – who, in this case, is an adult child. If this beneficiary has minor children, they will need to seek other pathways or wait for a new petition to be filed, usually under a different categorization – for example, when the beneficiary becomes a U.S. citizen, which can expand options for family reunification.

Always remember the importance of following the laws and guidelines of the United States immigration process and consulting reliable sources or specialized professionals in the area to avoid conflicting information or any kind of scam. Being cautious about marketing campaigns that promise guaranteed results is essential to ensure the process proceeds safely and correctly.
