upgrade I-130 from LPR to USC

[simoadr 0]

I am a LPR and I filled I-130 for my wife almost 5 months from now in California service center, when I went through CSC I found it takes almost 14 months for I-130 to be approved, now I m gonna get my citizenship on Jan 2013, so If I upgrade my LPR to USC, do I still be considered for 14 months for my I-130 to be approved or they gonna switch me to 5 months to be approved and they gonna consider the date when I filled I-130?

N.B: When I went through How to calculate your cycle time, I found that California Service Center doesn't treat I-130 for Citizenship filling for Spouce, only 2 offices do that TSC and VSC.

Expect your petition to be approved within a couple weeks of sending in a proper upgrade request. Once you're a citizen, the 5 month standard applies but it's no guarantee. What usually happens with an upgrade sent in after this long is they just go ahead and adjudicate the petition, when they pull the file to put it in the correct queue.

So I don't have to worry about my case because I thought it will take almost 14 months, but now I am happy that will take only couple of weeks after my upgrade.

Thanks pushbrk.

We passed the same path ...we have upgraded our petition from LPR to USC in september.....they will consider as a USC'spouse after update....

Our case status showed initial review for so many days.... but after priority date, we contacted congressman's office.They enquired about our case and we got approved our i130 with in two weeks after enquiry.
