Disclaimer: The following advice is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as legal advice because more facts are necessary to determine the issue. No attorney-client relationship is formed through these questions and answers.
This is what usually happens in such scenarios
Once a petitioner become a U.S. citizen, the petition for the spouse may be upgraded from family preference category to an "immediate relative." Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens do not have to wait in line to get their visas. Once petitioner becomes U.S. citzen and receives an approval notice (I-797) for the petition, they should notify NVC by a letter requesting upgrade of the petition. NVC will upgrade the petition and notify the spouse of further process.
