Hello. 

I am currently filing my NVC documents. My husband has his citizenship oath ceremony coming up.

I was wondering how I should let the NVC know of his new citizenship status after he obtains one?

Thank you in advance.

Once he takes the oath, he must inform NVC to upgrade your case to an IR category.  He will have to submit a copy of his Naturalization Certificate or US passport.  This is an extremely urgent question:

Are there derivative children to your petition?

@Crazy Cat

Thank you for your response! 

There are no derivatives. I am the only intending immigrant. 

 

Great.  Looks like your F2a petition has a priority date 11/27/2021.  The upgrade to IR will definitely speed up your case, it appears.

@Crazy Cat Do you know how I can inform the NVC once he obtains his citizenship?

He has also joined the US military after we filed our I130 so I am assuming we should also let them know about that?

At this point, his military status won't be a benefit that I can see.  Once he has his Naturalization Certificate, he needs to immediately email a copy to NVC and request the upgrade.  That should place your case in line with the other immediate relatives for your consulate.
