Does the H.R. 133 amendment ("To assure that immigrants do not have to wait longer for an immigrant visa as a result of a reclassification from family second preference to family first preference because of the naturalization of a parent or spouse")literally mean that as soon as my father is naturalized, I'll automatically receive my permanent papers?

Also what is the current approximate waiting period for naturalization since submission of the petition in New Jersey and California States?

I will be really grateful for your response.

Dear Volony:

When your father is naturalized, if your priority date is current, you can immediately file for adjustment of status.

Currently, applications for naturalization are taking from 270-630 days in Newark and 30-90 days in Los Angeles. Good luck.

Thank you very much! I think this is the best Internet source of Immigration Q&As. I'll tell to my friends about you!

Dear Volony:

Thank you. We appreciate it.
