I-129 Accelerated / Premium Processing

[CrazyGujju 0]

All,

Does anyone know if paying for the accelerated / "premium processing" for the I-129F form actually works? I'm not sure how one could actually tell whether or not it made a difference but I thought I would ask anyway.

Thanks,

No such thing. Your thread title is correct. Premium processing is available for I-129, not I-129F.

pusbrk statement is correct. No accelerated processing for 129F.

If there was such a thing,I think we'd all go for that service at this point.Who cares what it would cost,just to get this process moving.

Premium processing means moving to a state covered by VSC so you get approved in 1/4th the time

I think you mean CSC? I haven't seen any evidence recently that VSC is somehow 4 times as fast as CSC. Maybe you're thinking a year ago? These days it's the other way around, in fact.

In reference to the OP, I posted this on another page today:

Unless there's a difference between "accelerated" processing and "expedited" processing, some of the folks who have responded have been incorrect in saying that it cannot be applied to a K-1. It can, in fact, but it's just very difficult to meet the criteria USCIS uses to grant said servicing. Basically you have to be able to prove that the beneficiary's life is in imminent danger in one form or another - key word being PROVE - and heartbreak does not count nor do pending pregnancies. So practically speaking, for most K-1 applicants, this is not an option.

Yes my post was made in March 2008 so the statement was true then.
