My dad (a green card holder) never received an Approval notice letter for one of his sons I-130. He later called USCIS and was informed that a receipt letter and an Approval letter were both mailed to his address. We never received any of these. They went ahead and gave us the USCIS number for the case. Well we did not hear anything from NVC either(who now has the case)so we decided to give them a call and was told they emailed their own letter stating that they received the case (we never got that either) and provided us with the NVC case number. My brothers priority date is not current yet so we are just waiting.

However, Now my Dad is about to become naturalized. My question is do we need the Approval notice letter to upgrade this case, If so how do we upgrade it once my dad becomes a citizen? Both Uscis and NVC refuses to sent us another copy.

You do not need the approval notice letter to upgrade the petition when you father becomes a US citizen.

Correct :thumbs:

Just send in a copy of the citizenship certificate to NVC to upgrade the case.

Citizenship next step!
