Hi to everyone here!

i am married to a US citizen somewhere in Asia last year... and my husband filed for a Spousal Visa... i have been reading some of the topic that might probably make our papers process quick.. and some of them mentioned that the congressman MIGHT BE able to help us to expedite our papers... is that possible?

Please let me know if some people here able to make it...

thank you and i appreciate your suggestions and help.

I'm sure many members would like to offer you advice, but you left no details about your case.

1. Where is your case, at USCIS, NVC, USEM?

2. When did you file the petition?

3. Why does your case warrant an expedite?

Wow! thank you very much for the quick reply..

i am very sorry i forgot to include my details here.. as i have mentioned.. im a newbie and i dont know some of the part here..

anyway..

my husband filed for a permanent visa last sept 2011 in CSC and we have received the receipt like a week after he filed it..

they said.. it took only 5 months for the spousal visa.. is that true??? we just turned 5 months now. i have viewed the timelines saying 5 months process..

any other way to expedite the papers?

Thank you so much Sir!

The only way to expedite your case (that they will approve) is if its a serious medical issue, or life threatening situation. Other than that they will not approve expedite usually.

It takes about 5-7 months at USCIS another month or two at NVC and then the interview and if there is a 221g for more documents or AP it takes a little more time so the whole process will take about 8 months to a year.

If your on F3 case then it would take priority date as well but if he's a USC now then that won't be the case you would simply receive the visa after the interview as long as there are no other issues.

at the most - the USCitizen Spouse could file a Service Request, at this stage, to find the casefile.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Hi there! Just looking for some advice from those out there with experience in this topic. What are the odds of having an I-130 petition expedited because upcoming military deployment? and once the deployment orders have been sent as supporting documentation to USCIS?

Thanks!

In regards to the original poster....would attempt to get a service request, that may be your best bet.

That you are past processing times for that service center, you would need to call USCIS to do this.

I actually had my case expedited through uscis at the csc I also had my case expedited through nvc and this is what I did january 6th I mailed my petition off overnight january 15th I received my receipt that same day I mailed off my expedite request due to mental and financial hardship. I actually quit my good paying job and blamed my reason on quitting on my mental hardship I went to a psychologist and told them I cant work I also said I had a anxiety attack they prescribed me with xanax and trazadone I then filed my prescription at walmart I faxed in tcopies of the prescription a pay stub showing a decrease in my pay showing I quit my expedite was approved based on that january 26th checked my status online and it showed approved i130. Nvc got my case february 8th I also sent thenm actually a email saying my case was expedited through uscis and im requesting an expedite called nvc february feb 16th and they told me they are no longer dealing with my case and I should contact the u.s embassy in ghana. During that time I did go to my senator but by time they responded my case for an expedite was already approved I didnt makre any payments to nvc didnt send in any paperwork or anything im now staying in contact with the dept of state a lady name sara told me I can call everday if I want to check on the status because they can see every action the u.s. Embassy in ghana takes the embasy in ghana is just waiting for the hard coy they have already recieved the electronic coy. So I literally went through uscis and nvc in a month
