Hi everyone,

A quick question: Did anyone who filed for i-130 was a permanent resident at the time of filing I-130 ?

If that is the case, once you become a citizen, what you did to update your case to IR-1 ?

Is calling USCIS and providing your naturalization certificate was enough to update the filed petition for your spouse/kid ?

10/18/2012 - Became a USC and called USCIS to upgrade cases to IR-1/CR-1

Just an update.

I have called USCIS today, and provide them EACXXXXXX numbers to check the status.

They told me that my case has been updated to IR-1 on Oct 22, 2012.

Hope this will help, someone in the middle of the road.

My service center is Vermont. I have filed petitions on May 6 and called to updated on October 18.

The way how i updated my i-130 cases(spouse and 2 kids) to status IR-1, was calling USCIS and providing my details through phone.

Then i received a REF#, after a week i called back and have been told that my petition status is updated to IR-1

I did not receive the "notice of receipt" in mail so far.

@pinay28, how did your husband update the i-130 petition to be an IR-1 ?

after his oath he called the USCIS to upgrade my petition and then he mailed an upgrade letter, copy of his naturalization certificate and notice of a receipt to CSC... If you called the USCIS and they said that you are already approved, it's a true...
