Process to upgrade Pending I-130 (spouse) on oath ceremony

[sw88 25]

Hi, I'm waiting to become naturalized soon (hopefully by end of this year). Has anyone upgraded their spouse's pending I-130 on the day of oath ceremony? Is there any such option available to do so? If not, how soon can I update my status of GC to a Citizen and get my pending I130 expedited? My PD for I130 is October 2017.

How to Upgrade an I-130 Petition

When you naturalization as a U.S. citizen and have a pending Form I-130 for a relative, USCIS does not automatically upgrade your priority. You need to actively inform the immigration agencies of the change in immigration status.

It’s not necessary to file a new petition or pay another fee. You can simply write a letter to the appropriate immigration agency. However, if you’ve petitioned a spouse with at least one child together on the same petition, you must file new petitions for the children. Skip below to Child’s I-130 Petition.

 

If your I-130 petition is pending (not yet approved)…

A pending I-130 petition is still being reviewed at the office where it was submitted. Therefore, you’ll need to look up the address of the service center where you mailed your initial Form I-130. You will need to send proof of your U.S. citizenship. Submit the following documents:

• Proof of U.S. citizenship. Examples of acceptable documents include a copy of the biodata page of your U.S. passport or a copy of your certificate of naturalization.
• Proof of a pending I-130 petition. Submit a copy of the Form I-797C, Notice of Action (receipt letter) that was mailed to you by USCIS that indicates your I-130 petition was accepted.

Mail the evidence with a cover letter to the same USCIS service center that you mailed your I-130 petition.

If you have additional questions that require support, contact USCIS at (800) 375-5283.
