    Child of LPR got married while waiting for his green card overseas

    Thank you both for your replies. It doesn't make sense that his son's petition would be canceled!! Some people wait for over 13 years to get their immigrant visa's... and they're not supposed to get married in fear of losing their eligibility?? How odd is our immigration system!! Does...
