Hello,

I have passed my US naturalization interview today and received my citizenship certification.
I have filed I-130 for my 30 year old unmarried son back in January 2005. And file has been transferred in US consulate in Mumbai,India in 2009.

So, what is a process to change a category for this file from family based to immediate relative category? Should i correspond to national visa service center or US consulate in Mumbai, India?

Your response is highly appreciated.
Thank you again and God bless you all.

What if I filed a petition for a relative when I was
a permanent resident, but I am now a U.S. citizen?


If you become a U.S. citizen while your relative is waiting for a
visa, you can upgrade your relative’s visa classification and advance
the processing of that petition by notifying the appropriate agency
of your naturalization. When you are a U.S. citizen, your husband
or wife and any unmarried children under age 21 will have visas
immediately available to them.

If you become a U.S. citizen after your Form I-130 petition
is already approved and it has been forwarded to the State
Department’s National Visa Center (NVC), you should notify the
NVC that you have become a U.S. citizen. Requests to upgrade
petitions due to the naturalization of the petitioner should be
sent to:
National Visa Center
32 Rochester Avenue
Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909


Please include a letter with information regarding your relative, a
copy of your Naturalization Certificate, and a copy of the petition
approval notice. Once the NVC is notified that the petitioner
has been naturalized, the NVC will immediately send the visa
information on your relative to the designated U.S. Embassy
or consulate abroad. To confirm that your approved petition
has been forwarded to the NVC, you can contact the NVC’s
automated recorded message system at 1-603-334-0700 and,
with a touchtone telephone, enter your USCIS receipt number.
