One of my friend started process on green card to bring her husband. Now she became citizen. What or which form should she fill to update the Process from green card to citizenship. Thanks

If she wants to upgrade her petition as a US citizen she must notify USCIS of her new status. She will need to provide evidence of her naturalization. 

 

Her husbands case should be updated after that. But he will still be a permanent resident (green card holder).

Ask your friend to sign up and ask the questions.

 

Her husband wont be a citizen so cant upgrade from greencard to citizenship. Firdt he needs to get a greencard.

 

If you are asking how to update the category not sure, but it can be done after the petition was approved

Contact NVC and put in a Service Request.   Typically it takes 5 months.

If her i130 is still pending at USCIS Service Center, she can send a letter requesting the upgrade (from F2A to Immediate Relative) to that Center. If the case is already approved and is at NVC, she can send an email to NVC requesting for the upgrade. Include proof of citizenship while requesting.
