f2a to ir-1
I upgraded my case status on August 18, 2025, and last week I received an email confirming the upgrade from F2A to IR-1. Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to receive approval? Note that the original filing date was March 5, 2023.

It took almost 1 year for your case to upgrade? usually they say that it will be done in 30 days right?
