Hello Guys

Here is the list of the expedite criteria-I hope this is helpful

hey Mao A big Hug for u , I am so happy for u , i can imagne how long u waited , include me in ur prayers i really need them , best of luck with the rest of journey

Yes Cmonda,

I have been following your thread as well as all the others like Jon Blessing, HOHOHO, Ines, InkyPinky, estadia, Paris Heart, etc. etc.etc.

Keep calling with the RFE trick and state your case but please be very KIND. It helps to move them with sympathy. I know it shouldnt have to be this way, but for my family to be reunited, it's a small price to pay.

Also, Right after I filed the expedite, my petition was touched 48 hrs later, which was the 22nd, then again today, then the approval came
