Hello Everyone

Currently my category is F2a. My Case at NVC completed on 23rd july 2013.

My husband became US citizen on 9th July, so we emailed the scanned copy of the naturalization certificate on the same day, on 24th July we received an email response from NVC that your correspondence is under review. our case havent been upgraded yet :(

Can anyone tell me how long does is usually take NVC to up grade the category from F2A to IR1 ??

Thanks for replying lubnajavid and velrich.

The waiting times in nvc are increasing day by day. It's been more than a month since we sent them the copy of naturalization certificate.... Called them yesterday and they said give us one more week for review :(
