F2B Category Retention

[C56 1]

Dec. 6, 2019

 

Hello, 

 

I've filed I-130 petition for my son (PD June 15, 2018) as a LPR mother, having received from USCIS so far, only the Receipt of my petition .

 

I will became a American Citizen next January 2020. 

 

I have ben reading about keeping my petition in F2B category, since processing F1 category is very behind.

 

I've read that the USCIS updates from FB2 to F1 automatically once I get the citizenship. 

 

Should I write a letter requesting the F2B retention as soon as become citizen next month?

 

Please advise

 

Thank you!

Yes, you can send the letter to USCIS or NVC if t’s already approved and sent to NBC by that time.0

My I-130 petition is 4 years far from a Visa become available.

 

My I-130 has Not  been approved yet. It has even not reached NVC yet.

 

Should I send the letter to NVC later when my petition is approved? In this case scenario my petition would continue in F2B category for the next 4 years. 

 

Please advise

Thank you
