Will my case become current after upgrading or i had to wait for a longtime even after that.Coz vermont service senter is processing petitions filed on June 1 ,2003 for spouces of Us citizens.

Re: Upgrading 1-130 petition after being naturalized

There is no priority date once you are a US citizen - a visa number becomes immediately avaiable for your wife and your children (assuming that they are unmarried and under 21). If you need assistance with this matter please feel free to contact my office. Good luck!
