So NVC still has the casefile, no interview has been assigned.

You can certainly ask for the visa type to be upgraded with NVC, when you get the proof of yer citizenship in your hands.

I will guess, forecast that the interview date will get set for your spouse, sometime in January, for a late February interview. If I'm right, you have a small window of time to get in the stuff into NVC, but you should talk with a supervisor first, before attempting to submit anything about your citizenship status.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

I'm also in a similar situation as yours.

From what I understand.

if the files still with NVC after your NVC then you will have to inform NVC about your USC status. (can take additional 10 - 20 business days).

Is your Priority Date current? If it is then, looking at your timeline I'm guessing that your file will be with the embassy by JAN14. ( which is a good thing).

Your upgrade request will be forwarded to the embassy if NVC has already sent the file out.

All you have to do is inform (email) the embassy as well about your upgrade and they will issue the visa accordingly.
