F-2B beneficiaries are unmarried sons and daughters, who are at least 21 years of age, of lawful permanent residents.
Previous F-2B beneficiaries, whose petitioners have subsequently become naturalized U.S. citizens, are automatically reclassified as F-1 beneficiaries unless they opted and informed USCIS of their intention to remain in the F-2B category. This is a strategy that is available to F-2B beneficiaries (particularly the Philippines) whose priority dates can be reached sooner by remaining in the F-2B category.
