[saqfin 0]

My wife filed a petition for me when she was on green card 4 years ago. My I-130 approved in Jan 06 and She became US citizen in April 06. My case approved from NVC last month September 15th and forward to embassy in pakistan with F2A catagory and waiting for my priority date.

Can i email my wife's passport copy to NVC to upgrade my case from F2A to IR ??? Or I should contact to Embassy in Islamabad (Pakistan).

I'm not entirely sure in the context of having an application already at the consulate. I know when I became citizen I called the USCIS 1-800 number to upgrade, because that's what I read to do.

I would personally call the NVC and ask them what you should do.

I'd strongly suspect that if you were to send evidence of your wife's naturalisation to NVC, NVC would send the upgraded petition electronically to the embassy or consulate. Let us know if you find out.

I receive email from NVC i.e "As the file is no longer at the NVC, we are unable to honor your request to change. Please submit a copy of the applicant's passport to the assigned US Embassy."

I send passport copy to US Embasssy in Pakistan and waiting for their reply if they done it.

Thanks for the update. Odd response. A copy of your wife's passport send to the Embassy, alone, would indicate nothing to upgrade a petition, in my opinion. NVC must have sent some communication to them.
