Hi everyone! I just sent NVC an email regarding a request for a petition upgrade from F2A to IR-1..i'm just wondering is it reliable to just email them (which is btw an instruction from an agent)? or do i need to submit the hard copies of my naturalization certificate? How long does it usually take? Thank you as always for your replies.

Highly doubt they would ever upgrade a petition without having proof you are now a citizen. If that was the case then everyone would say they were a US citizen.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

I am a Citizen of the United States of America. 04/16/13

They also instructed me to scan a copy of my naturalization certificate which I did.

Hi,

You should attached a copy of your naturalization certificate and a copy of Notice of Approval for I-130 (I797). You can email them or mail.

In my case, it took more than 20 bussines days (almost a month).
