PLEASE HELP. My mom just had her naturalization a week ago. And when she filed her petition for my brother she was a PERMANENT RESIDENT and my brothers case was under F2A - son of a permanent resident. So may question is, is it an advantage or disadvantage for my brothers case to be moved in IR2 (son/daugters of american citizens)Please! Help! And what should we do now?

Your mother has to contact USCIS about this case and inform them that she is a USC. She can send them a copy of her naturalization cert so they can finish processing his petition and approve it. After it's approved, your brother is considered an immediate relative of a USC, he doesn't have to wait for his priority date to become current and can proceed with NVC processing.

The advantages are that he will cut his immigration time dramatically and as long as he is under 18 when he enters the country with his immigrant visa and is admitted as an LPR, he will automatically become a USC. After his passport or visa is stamped confirming LPR status, he would be able to apply for a US passport.

This does not constitute legal advice.

In what stage of the visa process are they in now?

If their case is with the National Visa Center (NVC), your mom should send an email to NVC stating that she already Naturalized and her sons' visa category should change to IR2 (Child of a US Citizen), attach a copy of her Naturalization Certificate.
