NVC Processing

I have a case for my wife at NVC. I was a permanent resident when I filed the application, and naturalized. I sent them a copy of my certificate 3 weeks ago, and they said they haven\'t entered it into the computer yet. How long does it take them to process the upgrade? Anyone with similar situation?
 
the NVC can take several weeks to "update" the petitioner\'s status on an I-130

Assuming you included a copy of the receipt notice with your Naturalization Certificate copy, it may take several weeks for the NVC to connect the Naturalization Certificate copy with the I-130\'s file and an additional several weeks for the computer to get updated, even though the I-130 will be transfered immediately to the processing line for US citizens (when combined with the file).

Several attorneys\' websites post the service centers\' processing times for I-130\'s. check one to determine the advantage in processing times. Your next contact should be the I-130 approval notice (or a request for additional evidence), when it will be forwarded to the National Visa Center.
 
Upgrade letter & i-485 at the same time?

My mom is going to upgrade her I-130 petiton also. Since a visa # will be immediately avaliable to me, Do I have to file an AOS i-485 at the same time as the letter to upgrade the petition?
