One of my uncle was petitioned by my grandmother (LPR). Because of long waiting my uncle got married. His priority date becomes current, went for medical and interview but denied for a visa.

Last 2 years ago, his petitioner, my grandmother naturalized and became a US citizen. Is there still a way we can do for him to get a visa. Or can my grandmother reopen his case?

I would be glad to hear your comment or suggestions... :)

why didnt the petitioner UPGRADE the case (advised the NVC/Embassy of her new status..?

WHAT IS THE PRIORITY DATE , When did they get married, what is the date the petitioner became a US Citizen...?

Answering those questions would determine if the case was still valid based on if the marriage took place AFTER the petitioner changed her immigration status. Keep in mind that the case would have to be re-opened and an appeal may not be possible and be thankful if reopened/accepted expect another 3-4 year wait for the case to become current with the new category F3.

You Grandmother can file for him as the son of a USC (married).

As it sounds like he married before she naturalised the first petition died with that marriage.

Ohh.. I see. So my grandmother needs to file another one for him. That would be another years of waiting. so sad..

My uncle get married before my grandmother naturalized.

Can she or can she not re-open the case. because if she file another petition for him again it would take longer years.. a decade maybe..

No... she cannot; see reasons above.

I have the similar situation. My mother filled out petition to join with unmarried son under 21 of permanent citizen in 12.30.2002. After that I got married in 2003. My mother became American citizen in Feb. 2006. Oct. 2006 she sent copies to update about Citizenship. But they never update. She has all copies of documents.

The question is - what to do now to get visa as soon as possible? Fill out new petition as American Citizen? It`ll take years even I`m not from Phillipines :)

In 2003 the application became void.

She can file a new petition. Has been able to do so since 2006.
