How can I upgrade my citizenship on my I130's?

[assila 14]

I became a citizen on November 4, 2022. I filed my sons I130's on Septmeber 2022. I've called, sent emails, and written letters about updating my citizenship. Now, after waiting and thinking they've updated my citizenship, they're telling me they sent my petitions to Texas. Can someone please tell me the best way to handle updating my citizenship? Thank you!

I sent them to USCIS because I haven't made it to the NVC stage

That was fast, look what I received this morning:

 

To Whom it Concerns:

 

The National Visa Center (NVC) recently received your immigrant visa petition from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your petition is now waiting for data entry into our systems.

 

Since your case is not in our systems yet, we cannot make updates.

You can also begin to familiarize yourself with the documents NVC will request at that site.

NVC are usually very quick with enquiries. As per the link I gave, USCIS have nothing to do with this, they are just approving the I-130 and that's the same no matter which category you come under. So all you can do is wait until that is approved and your case is with NVC, then contact them as above.
