Re: upgrading a petition

This situation can definitely be fixed so that you do not have to wait for your green card for years. The fact that your husband naturalized does not automatically transfer you to the immediate relatives category. This is a substantial change of circumstances and it needs to be properly communicated to USCIS. Should you decide to retain an immigration attorney for this matter, I would be happy to help you. Best of luck.
