My mother is a resident. She petition 2 of her daughters back in 2004. One of her daughters is now married. If mother was to become a citizen would that help the married daughter?
If your mother becomes a citizen at this time, she can petition for her married daughter again under the F-3 category for married sons and daughters of US citizens. However, this would be a new petition with a new priority date, and the F-3 category is backed up about 13 years. If there is another way for the daughter to immigrate, perhaps she should choose that instead. If not, the mother should file the petition as soon as possible.
