The case for my wife and step daughter is already at nvc with all fees paid , ds260 filed for both and financial and supporting documents that will be received today in order for them to immigrate from Italy. I will become a U.S. Citizen soon , just waiting on the ceremony date , spoke with the nvc today who stated that once I become a U.S. Citizen my step daughter would be removed from the petition and I would have to file a separate I-130 and go through the whole process again?, is this valid ? Has anyone encountered this? At this point is it even worth upgrading my petition to a CR1 since we are not sure if we will have to wait for a visa for them once our documents are sent to the consulate in Naples?
