I have been with my fiance for close to 15 years but never got married since my mother who's currently a us permanent resident filed for me to become a PR. I never got married as that would disqualify me for PR based on the fact that I am older than 21 or at least make the wait more than 20 years. After waiting more than 13 years my case was sent to the NVC.
My case has been considered documentarily qualified after all required documents have been reviewed. I am now waiting on a visa interview date but who knows when that will happen. As she is still a PR, am I considered an immediate relative? Or does she have to be an us citizen for me to be considered a immediate relative? I ask this as that the difference is that immediate relative visa interview are currently processing cases who was documentarily qualified on October 2021 but "Most Family Preference and Employment cases scheduled for interview were documentarily qualified in October 2019". My case was documentarily quality ion November 2021. I am not sure if I fall under the immediate relative group or the group that waiting for the 2019 batch.
If I fall under the 2019 group, I don't think I can wait to get married that much longer for personal and financial reasons. If I do end up getting married before my visa interview date, would that change my family sponsored preference from F2B to F3? I ask this as the F2B category for my birth country is past my priority date but the F3 category is 8 years before my priority date and hasn't moved in years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
