Is F2 divided into 77% for F2A and 23% for F2B? Correct?

It is always good to start by remembering that the United States immigration system is quite complex and subject to frequent changes, so it is crucial to always have up-to-date information. Within the “Family Based” visa family, the F2 category is intended for relatives of legal permanent residents, being divided into two subgroups: F2A, for spouses and children under 21 years old, and F2B, for unmarried children aged 21 or older.

Regarding the mentioned division – 77% for F2A and 23% for F2B – these percentages are not a fixed rule or an official division required by the visa quota system. In reality, the number of available visas and the waiting time in each subcategory can vary according to factors such as demand, current legislation, and other administrative parameters evaluated annually.

At times, observers may point out estimates that approach these numbers, but it is important to understand that they are only approximations and do not absolutely define the distribution of visas between F2A and F2B.

Given this, it is always wise to follow the updates published by the U.S. Department of State and USCIS, as well as seek guidance from reliable sources. Strictly following immigration laws and avoiding services that promise guaranteed results or miraculous treatments is essential for a safe and legal process.

If doubts arise or more detailed information is needed, consulting trusted professionals is always a good practice to stay well informed and prepared during the immigration process.
