Upgrading .......MY WORST NIGHTMARE

[atk_721 0]

I have 2 questions

* After upgrading,r v suppose to get some kind of confirmation that petition has been upgraded?

* Does the upgrade date is considered as new receipt date for petition filed by a USC means like a fresh case or do they count the time since the case was originally filed when it was filed by a GC holder?

I am so fustrated,I sent in my naturalization certificate and upgrade request in oct 08 and called on 3rd jan just to check status for approval.I called again today and the lady over the phone told me it was just upgraded on 3rd jan.What the hell..............Shoudn't it have been upgraded when I requested it in Oct.I have no clue what is going on???????She also told me that now it is in the queue as if u filed on jan 09.I am going crazy.Every time I call its a bad news.When I went for my info pass,they officer said it has been upgraded but in system petitioner still showing as green card holder.It seems like all the lazy people who have no clue how to work efficiently and precisely are working for USCIS.GOD HELPPPPPPPPPPP MEEEEEEEEEE

Probably case moved from storage into the normal queue with other citizen's petitions at USCIS, may end up with the normal wait for for USCIS to process (Aprox 6 months from status change to NOA2)

Mine is also a case of an upgrade from petition of a GC to a USC. A day after my husband's naturalization, we sent CSC a request for an upgrade in the petition. 2 weeks after his naturalization, we received the NOA2. (he was naturalized on 9/11 last year and we got an approval on 09/25). My petition was filed at CSC. I think VSC works much slower than CSC as what I have read in other posts. But once you got approved, it will be much faster in NVC. Good luck!

Thanks for ur reply guys.Yeah when I called for upgrade the CSR told me I shud hear in about two months and hopefully that will be your approval notice but I guess life is not that simple .so here am I.I have no idea whats going on.Each time a service request is placed and no outcome.....

atk,

i'll be honest with you, your a lazy dude. this is how i upgraded and called them everyday eversince i sent in the email along with a scanned copy of my naturalization certificate, called them and told them to upgrade my case and mailed them a copy of my certificate, within three days my case was upgraded. DUDE you need to follow up with them people, if you dont, jani they're not in a rush to call your wife here, you are.. it's up to you. I called them twice a day to ask status on my case, my case got sent to NVC and I completed the case at NVC in just 15 days and that's a guaranteed record!! holla

Ebad.
