We submitted a request letter to upgrade our I 130 petition after my husband become US Citizen.

We expected to get receipt notice regarding to upgrading case.

However, we received a general inquiry response letter , our request letter and copies of naturalization certificate and receipt notice those are sent to CSC.

We feel confused. Why did they send back all those letters?(Our request letter has a stamp that they received)

What should we do?

We don't know our case has been upgraded or not.

As soon as the case is upgraded you will get an email saying your case is ready for processing and you will receive the invoice ID and Beneficiary with it.

Cheque the email you sent to see if you sent it to the correct email address.

It seems you have received the automatic response that all email gets. You can call them and cheque if it was received.

Good luck.

Hi velrich

Thanks for your reply.

Let me ask u. In your case, did you receive that general inquiry response letter and did they send back u the copies of certificate and receipt notice?

As soon as the case is upgraded you will get an email saying your case is ready for processing and you will receive the invoice ID and Beneficiary with it.

Cheque the email you sent to see if you sent it to the correct email address.

It seems you have received the automatic response that all email gets. You can call them and cheque if it was received.

Good luck.

According to the I-797C receipt, there's no PD anymore since it has been upgraded to IR (they left PD blank). The receive date is still the day I received NOA1 which was on May 9, 2012. So, I'm assuming that there is no reset or whatsoever will take place. :yes:
