F2A to IR-1 Upgrade Timeline Thread

[saladboye 166]

Hi,

 

I want to see some reports and timeline stats for petition upgrade from Spouse of an LPR to Spouse of a Citizen as I'm going to be doing that next month as I become citizen.

 

To anyone who filed a petition as LPR, then became citizens and upgraded petition, may you please share your stats:

 

 

F2A PD |Service Center|Naturalization Date|Upgrade Date|Upgrade Processed|NVC or USCIS|ApprovalDate|NVC Interview

 

Notes:

 

• F2A PD - Your PD at the time of filing as F2A
• Service Center - Where the form is being processed
• Naturalization date - Date/month you became citizen
• Upgrade Date - Date you sent in your copy of N-600 and NOA1 for I-130
• Upgrade Processed - Date you got notice from USCIS that the upgrade was processed
• NVC or USCIS - 
  • if 130 was approved you sent the upgrade notification to NVC
  • if 130 was pending you send the upgrade notification to USCIS
• ApprovalDate - Date of 1-130 Approval
• NVC Interview - Interview date for your beneficiart

Look for section:

 

When I filed a petition for my relative I was a Lawful Permanent Resident (green card holder). I recently became a U.S. citizen. How does this affect my family members?

Wow. This is great news! Congratulations to you! 

 

So I assume you sent i130 in F2A category to CSC back in April 2019, and it's been pending since then. In my case, our i130 was sent in Nov 2017 and still pending with CSC. Upgrade request sent on 2/13/2019. We haven't heard back on it yet :(
