> I'm an ex B2-er, LOL.
But your current status is based on your marriage to a USC correct?
My (again very dim) understanding is that as a B-2 holder you could have
brought your daughter over as your dependent without wait.
I think the purpose behind the "immediate relative" exception is a case
where a family member (say a US-born child) sponsors a parent. That
parent cannot then petition to have all his/her immediate relatives join
them; rather, the original petitioner would have to petition for his/her
own immediate relatives ONLY and file an individual petition for each.
Therefore, if a USC sponsors his mother, and she gets her visa, she
cannot turn round and bring the USC's step-siblings immediately.
