Approval
Hi all,
Yesterday I’ve got an I-130 letter approval and today’s morning I woke up with I-485 approval after about 353 days for I-130 with an upgrade from F2A to IR1/CR1/IR6/CR6, and 170 days for I-485 to get approved.
Anyone needs a help, just let me know. I did all papers from A to Z without an attorney, so I may be able to help if you guys have a question.

@Nox Royce thank you!
They didn’t contact me back after I mailed and uploaded the US naturalisation certificate with the letter to USCIS. They won’t tell you what preference is it until you submit the I-485 and here is the trick, you have to consider the I-485 as a concurrent filling attaching I-797C receipt for I-130, even if there was a gap between the 2 applications; unless there is no decision on your I-130.
My I-130 PD was on September 22, 2022 and I did the upgrade on the same day I submitted I-485 on March 21, 2023 and they gave a decision on the case after 5 months. Just make sure to upload anything missing or can prove your strong relationship online and by mail to the same agency processing your case.
Note: Call the USCIS to make sure that the agency processing your case is the same on your I-797C notice letter, sometimes they transfer the case without updating you.
GL! 👍🏻
