I wonder if the processing time is more or less within the same timeframe universally for either spouse of LPR or that of USC? 

I just recently filed for adjustment of status under F2A but my spouse is about to become a USC because the oath ceremony will take place in just two weeks. And my biometrics appointment for AOS is right next week 😅. I would like to know whether I just need to wait for my interview after the biometrics appointment, or should I update my spouse legal status with USCIS, and how? Please note that my local CIS office doesn't take any Infopass appointments so I cannot make an appointment with them. So I guess the only chance I could do an update is calling USCIS center service number? 

 

I am asking so is because if the timeframe is about the same, I will leave it until the interview takes place and inform them by then. If the processing time is significantly longer for F2A category, then I think I should do something.

You can't update it yet anyway. Not until his oath ceremony is done.

Yep, I know though. 🤣

 

I am curious about the update stuff anyway, for all the online answers are either about I-130 petition upgrade or Infopass appointment with local office if already filed I-485.  Since the local CIS office never accepts Infopass appointments or walk-in questions so we just call the general number for help, or do nothing?

Why not upgrade the I-130? The I-485 is based on it, anyway. They should be able to connect the dots.

Is it possible to upgrade an approved I-130? This is helpful if so. 

 

My I-130 was approve 5 months ago (my PD is Feb 2017), but I just recently entered the US and that is why I applied for AOS.
