Hello evryone!

Can anyone please answer this question? I wil be very thankful. I applied for my wife(I-130) in Septemper 2006 as a LPR(Legal permanent Restident). I just became a US Citizen in May 2007 and I requested to upgrade the I-130 petition by sending a cover letter and copy of my naturlization certificate and a copy of the NOA1 to the VSC(Vermont service Center). It is because application is still pending there. I also called the customer service and gave them the info.

The question is does anyone know how long it takes to upgrade the Petition??I just checked the USCIS Website and for CR1, VSC is now processing the i-30 for Nov 2006. Is anyone here on the same boat?? or did anyone ever upgraded the petition?? Also, when they upgrade, will the priority date change? If, not, then, I think they should approve our case quickly. Please help!! Thank you!! regards, kim
 
2-4 weeks.

There is no priority date needed if you are IR1/CR1 (spouse of a USC), but for document purposes - the priority date doesn't change.

I will be in the same situation. Did you get an approval from VSC?
