Change of citizenship for sibling who has a pending I130

[Gpaul 0]

Hello -

 

I am a naturalized US Citizen who filed for a GC for my brother in 2018. At the time of filing, he was an Indian citizen. Since then, he has obtained Australian citizenship (relinquishing his Indian citizenship). My questions are:

1. What is the process to reflect his new nationality (and change of address) with USCIS?
2. Will an Australian citizen help increase the processing time? Or is it still based on country of birth?

 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Paul

Not really.

It’s based on the country of birth.

Thank you. @powerpuff and @Timona. 

 

Do you happen to know how to let USCIS know of the change of his address and nationality?

 

Thanks,

Paul

I don’t think there’s a need or a requirement to update USCIS. He can update once his case gets to NVC in however many years that would be and he can update everything there.

The overall process of getting that type of visa is at least 20 years.
