I assume your mother sponsored you when she was a GC holder? How old were you when she sponsored you? Are you still single or married? If married, did you get married before your mother became a US citizen?

Thanks, forgot that one 
more info
The priority date was Oct 16, 1996. my mom petitioned for me while she was a GC holder. I am married now and I got married a few months before she became a citizen
. However I was able to call immigration and update my status yet I was still approved. Does this make any sense? I hope this description gives everyone a sense of my case right now. ohh and I was over 18 when she petitioned (I was 21 actually).

Itspec,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the moment you got married that old petition of yours became null and void. Had you married after your mother's naturalisation, things would have been different. However, your mother can petition for you again in category F3.

i'd contact a lawyer if i were you.
I did read some information about a request that a person can submit to USCIS in order to stop them from transferring your petition from one category to another so that one could avoid the situation you are in. However, your petition was approved anyway - I'd try to use it, if the priority date is current for married children of US citizens. Was it transferred to that category?

Well, I understand your situation itspec, but I must say that your immigrant visa application is dead. There is no way can your parent as a u.s. pernament residence petition for a married child. You void it when you get married. Even if the USCIS approves it, that does'nt matter. The Visa Center is gonna terminate it cause the have you as umarried and the petitioner as a pernament residence. Even if you bypass that, then the real nightmare begins, the consulate gonna deny your visa and you will not get your money back.
The only way out is to deny that you are not married, and you will be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry crazzzzzzzzzzy to do that. I cant understand why you did'nt weigh this before you get married after you waited for ten years. As long as the love is there a few extra months would' kill. You could have waited unti your mom becomes a citizens then you get married, she then upgrade the petition to F1 you get a instant processing, then you go and come back to get married and petition for your wife. And even the a better way, your mom becomes a USC, downgrade the petition and you still get instant processing along with your wife and kids if any under f3....cause that category past your priority date.
