Expediting a petition??

[ehytee7 0]

I'm kinda ignorant with these things, but just want to help out my parents coz they are kinda worried about it.

my mom filed last Sept 2007 the I-130 of my older brother, who is in the Philippines right now and will be turning 21 yrs old on June 2008. It was already December and she haven't gotten any response, so she called uscis and at the same time consulted her lawyer. They both advised her to file I-824, coz that will be faster. A week after filing I- 824, she got the notice of action of it. Something like EAC-xxxxx....

so anyways... i hope you guys can answer some of my question..

1. Can we already expedite my brother's I-824, since the uscis already gave us its notice of action?

2. I know that we have to send in a letter to the service center here, but do we also need to send one in the Manila Embassy?

3. My dad was also included in my brother's I-824, so if we expedited the petition.

Will my dad's case be included or only my brother, since he's the one turning 21 yrs old?

4. If worst comes to worst that my dad and my brother don't get their visa before my brother turns 21,

can they fly here in the us using their tourist visa instead?

thanks for taking the time to read this. and if you guys have any more information regarding expediting a petition, please post here.

it will be very much appreciated.
