I am citizen now!! What s next for my wife?
Hello,
Here is my situation:
I received my naturalization certificate couple days ago.
My wifes situation:
In removal proceddings since 2008.
Never got court date.
I-130 filed in Feb 2010, approved in Oct 10.
Simce i was LPR then we elected to wait till i become USC.
I know before we file I-485 for her, we need to let them know that I am USC now.
How do I do that?
Any other help or advice is appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Since she is in proceedings, you should go to this link to see her options for applying for benefits.

As for the change is your status, notify USCIS at the address on the I-130 notice and provide a copy of your natz cert and ask for an UPGRADE to the petition classification.
Get a lawyer. Things have to be done expertly and carefully in order to get an AOS approved for somebody already in removal proceedings.
