Confused

[Zheny 1]

I filed for my daughters, child of unmarried lawful resident, , got my citizenship 2018, do i need to update the uscis, since it takes too long for any update on my petition. I submitted my petition May 2015. Any way how i can submit my certificate of naturalization? Any info will help. Thank you in advance

Assuming you filed under F2B you need to mail Nvc through the public inquiry link and attach your naturalization certificate and request for opt out of automatic conversion to F11. Otherwise the application converts immediately to reflect the petitioner’s visa class. Generally F2B moves faster

I agree with @Gemini000 except the request should come from the applicant/beneficiary.

 

Good Luck!

 

Effect on adult children: If you filed a petition for your unmarried adult children (age 21 or older) when you were an LPR, NVC will change the visa category from family second preference (F2B) to family first preference (F1). However, under a federal law called the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA), visa applicants can “opt out” of conversion to the F1 visa category and remain an F2B visa applicant. This may be beneficial because sometimes the wait time for an F2B visa is shorter than the wait time for an F1 visa. When you naturalize and become a U.S. citizen, you should check the Visa Bulletin to see if it would be helpful for your adult unmarried child to remain in the F2B category. (Applicants keep the priority date of their F2B petition when it converts to the F1 visa category.) Applicants who want to opt-out of conversion to the F1 category must submit a request using these guidelines:

• Applicants whose case is at NVC should submit requests using NVC’s online inquiry form. NVC will forward the request to USCIS and change the visa category back to F2B upon receipt of USCIS’s approval.
• Applicants whose case is at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate overseas should ask the embassy to submit a request on their behalf. The consular officer will forward the request and adjudicate the visa application in the F2B category only upon receipt of USCIS’s approval.
