upgarding I130 petition from mother

[merimusa 1]

hi all

I apply for my daughter (unmarried, 21 years old over) I 130 and it is still pending in USCIS. As of today now , her mom is naturalized and got US citizen.

Could I upgrade my petition using from her mom naturalization.

I have a confusion that I am the main petitioner but if any parents are naturalized we can request for upgrade or not?

Help me please if any body has good experience.

Thank you

No, you can't switch petitioner. Her mother can petition for her as well, but it's about the same wait for the adult child of a citizen as for the adult child of a green card holder anyway. So your daughter is likely to get a visa faster through you than through her mother, if you applied a while ago. 

 

The only advantage for her mother petitioning her rather than you would be that she could then get married if she wanted to.
