i filed petition for my husband under F2A category in may 2018 and my service center is CSC. I got my citizenship in Nov, 2018. I called USCIS to upgrade my petition from F2A to CR1. They sent me a notice in the mail stating that i have to fax the copy of notice and naturalizatiin certificate. I did it on the same day. Since, then i haven’t recieve any upgrade motice or confirmation that my case was upgraded or not. I also tried to call USCIS they said if i did fax the documents they should have done it and USCIS doesnt really send mails. The petition would have been upgraded by itself. I am so confused at this point. Has anyone experienced the same situation while upgrading the Petition?

Yes, I tried that too. He said the same thing that it might have upgraded if you sent us a copy of naturalizatiin certificate. But he didnt give me any confirmation. Its been more than 40 days still no response.

How long did you wait after approval? I upgraded mine on June. I didn't received any letter or email. I called them and they send me an email stating the category changed to immediate relative and will be waiting a response within 5 months. I have no choice at this point.
