The United States immigration system has specific categories for family petitions, each with defined rules. The F2B category is exclusively for unmarried adult children (21 years or older) of lawful permanent residents and does not include fiancé(e)s.
Therefore, fiancé(e)s cannot be included in an F2B petition. To immigrate a fiancé(e), there are other options such as marriage followed by sponsorship under the F2A category for spouses of permanent residents, or the K-1 visa, which is exclusive to U.S. citizens.
It is essential to comply strictly with immigration laws, seek information from official sources, and avoid oversimplified promises. This answer is for informational purposes only and does not substitute specialized consultation.
