What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

Hi all,

I have a complicated case that I would love some opinions and advice on.

My wife and I are Canadian Citizens.

2009: My wife's sister submitted an I130 for my wife in 2009 that was approved and sent to NVC, Portamouth, NH. (at this stage she was single)

2011: My wife and I got married

2012: I applied for an E2 visa and was approved, my wife and I are now living in the US.


Questions:
1. Does the fact that we are already lawfully in the US change the processing time for her case?

2. What updates (if any) should she do to the case: Marital Status? Immigration status? or are such things automatically updated?

Obviously the goal is for her and I both to be green card holders, so I am looking for the most efficient way to accomplish this without moving her case to the back of the line.

Thanks!
