The cutoff date for F2B is in 1997 for the Philippines. So your child will be a few years old before your 2002 priority date becomes current. I don't think the child can be added to the petition (I'm not sure of this though, let's wait for others to comment); you probably will have to file for the child yourself after becoming an LPR, and wait out the 4-5 years while your child is in the Philippines.

I don't see any reason why not.

The PD for your country is in 1997, so there's probably another 5-7 years to wait. Don't get married until you get your GC or your parents naturalize.

I don't see why not. It's not a common situation, but I'm not aware of any restriction on derivative beneficiaries in FB2B, or FB1.

Well, the F2B already has the obvious restriction against a derivative spouse. The apparent intention is that only the LPR's child is immigrating, not anybody else.

There is a lawyer who specializes in Filipino legal issues. Look for Gurfinkel; I believe this was discussed in his updates; you may have to look at several years worth of postings.
