Changes to the category after marriage

[j1023]

Hi , really thank you for reading my post.

I have tried to find the answers by read thru the forum and search the internet but i couldn't get a clear answer.
Please let me ask some question about family based green card.

At 2010 my mother have petitioned for me as F2B (21 ages over children , divorced ) and my mother are going to get U.S citizenship at next year February.

I understand that after my mother become citizen and if she file for me i will automatically become F1 category.

Please let me ask that if i marry after i convert to F1 category will my category change to F3 ( Married child ) ? or i will maintain the F1 status ?

Really thank you for your time and please have a nice day.

The rules are very clear and are followed very closely by those who are affected.

When you mother becomes a U.S. citizen, she should report her citizenship status to the NVC and request that your petition status remain at F2B, which is her right to avoid the "citizenship penalty," which would have resulted in a longer visa quota wait for you.

But if you subsequently marry, after she become a U.S. citizen, your status changes to F3, which carries a much longer wait for an available visa slot.
