No need to send i130 again.... u can just send your naturalisation certificate to USCIS..

The time is depend upon the service center and your country....still each case is different..

In my case,we completed two months after updating our case...no NOA2 yet.

Do u file for your child before?

Yes, if you have a natural child living abroad, you file the I-130 for them. They would receive an IR2 visa and be eligible for US Citizenship upon entry. No need for them to Naturalize. Just apply for US passport for the child after entry.

No need to send i130 again.... u can just send your naturalisation certificate to USCIS..

The time is depend upon the service center and your country....still each case is different..

In my case,we completed two months after updating our case...no NOA2 yet.

This is wrong. Please make sure you understand the question before answering. In this case, the baby is a child, not the spouse.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

If you have a child before your spouse become a USC then there should be another petition i-130 for the child.

I would advice to file it immediately, and mention that spouse has a pending i-130.

If ever hubby became UScitizen,and upgrade our case to f2a to iR1.. And base on my understanding we need to file another I-130 for my child to USCIS,and wait for approval.. My question is how many months to wait for the approval of I-130.. Pls share your experience.
