F2A to IR1 timeline
Hi everyone I just informed USCIS to upgrade my F2A to IR1 after I got my Citizenship.
Outside USA Counselor Processing of Form I-130
Date of Filling is in May 2024
Texas Service Center
Question-
1. When do you think they will upgrade my Case?
2. Do they approved I-130 immediately after updating the case?

@Hamza Hussain When I called them they said it will be done in 30 days did you ask them again?

I submitted a service request to upgrade my case to IR1. However it was only upgraded at the time of our interview a year later. It really is case by case. Yours could be earlier.

Also my I-130 has been approved for over two years now. The timelines are different for everyone.
