What must Aurelia wait for before applying for adjustment of status?

The approval of her I-130 petition
A current priority date for the F2A category
Her husband becoming a U.S. citizen
The expiration of her temporary visa

The correct answer is: A current priority date for the F2A category

The correct answer relates to the requirement for a current priority date within the F2A category in order for Aurelia to apply for adjustment of status. In U.S. immigration law, family-based visa categories, like F2A (which covers spouses and children of lawful permanent residents), are subject to a visa bulletin that indicates when a visa number is available to applicants. Each category has a numerical limit, and visa numbers are allocated according to priority dates. If Aurelia's priority date is not current, she must wait until it becomes available before she can submit her adjustment of status application. This ensures that she is eligible to proceed based on the current immigration laws and the availability of visas in her category. Therefore, having a current priority date is a critical requirement for her to move forward in the adjustment of status process.
