How do I change my category from F2A to IR1 while AOS is pending?

[Kaykay1 0]

Hello guys,

 

Months ago I’ve applied for AOS while my wife was still an LPR, so I am presently F2A. Months later, my EAD was approved. Recently my spouse became a US citizen. Please how do I upgrade my application from F2A to IR1. What is the process or steps to take. 
 

Thanks

Has the I-130 been approved?

The petitioner should writer a letter to the USCIS service center that is handling the I-130, and note the petitioner’s status has changed to citizen.  The cover letter should should  cite the  case number of I-130, and include s copy of I-130 receipt and naturalization certificate.  
 

The beneficiary should write s letter letter to the USCIS service center that is handling the I-485, and note the petitioner’s status has changed to citizen.  The cover letter should should  cite the  case number of I-485 and I-130, and include s copy of I-485 and I-130 receipt and naturalization certificate.  
 

Also you should not post duplicate topics.

F2A and IR1 do not apply to you. They are visa categories for when the beneficiary applies abroad at the US consulate. You’re in the US, not applicable to you. Follow the above advice by @Mike E

Correct -- OP would not be IR1, as that is for spouse of USC (married > 2 yrs) who arrived with a spouse visa.  After OP's I-485 is approved, their immigration status would be IR6, for spouse of USC who adjusted status.  Spouse of LPR who adjusted status would be F26.

I’m still confused about this. Do I send both mails in one packet or separately. You mean the same address I sent the I-485 and I-130 during the adjustment of status application?

 

sorry for posting duplicate topics.

The letters can be in the same envelope

Did you solve it? I'm in the same situation, but my i130 was approved before the bulletin went back, now my wife is a citizen
