Expedite Approved

[Leedah 22]

Hi all. I spoke with USCIS today and was told that the expedites I filed on June 4, 2008 were approved.

Now I just want to know what is the process from now on? Does this mean they will look at my case now as opposed to 6 more months from now? Hmmm....

Considering that we've already been waiting over 6 months anyway, the expedite approval is sort of bittersweet. lol.

Well, I haven;t actually received the expedite approval notice in my hand, but I'll definitely let you all know when it arrives and tell what it says. Hopefully that will help anyone else who is filing an expedite.

By the way, as for my expedite reason:

I used Financial Hardship.

My kids were kidnapped by my previous ex and I have to travel a great deal to take care of that situation.

Also before my previous ex was deported, I went down to immigration and informed them of what he was up to and also that we were not together. This was to protect me should he'd have used a look-alike to impersonate me at any interviews, etc. The FBI and State Dept opened up a case for me concerning the kids and also they have a dossier on my ex.

Since immigration deported him, I think they already had all his info and the kidnapping info, therefore I believe it was easier for them to connect the dots and approve the expedite.

Also whenever I would go to the embassy in the country where my kids are kidnapped to, I would bring my husband also. (he is from the same country also that my ex is from but not the same tribe).

All that info probably gave USCIS a reason to approve, but who knows how they really work.

Hope all this helps someone.

Peace.

Thanks for the congrats.

It's funny because i sent a text message to my husband informing him of the good news.

He says "uh huh". So i'm approved?"

I have to explain to him that we were approved to be reviewed.

He says "Approved...to be ...reviewed?? Huh? Baby I don't get it."

Now that I have made him utterly clueless to American concepts.... hahaha

After I hung up the phone with him...I had to think about that one myself.

Approved....to be ....reviewed.

Hmmm....he may be on to something. lol

I have wondered what other legit reasons can be used to expdite....sick of living alone...waking up everyday without her, living alone in quitness...talking to walls...eating my own overcooked or half cooked food....not being able to talk to her everyday since it costs 10cents aminute to call....biting my nails...picking my hair....all this killing me slowly.....

Congrats on your expedite request approval.

Just curious. If expedite is for financial hardship, does that mean NVC will waive the $470 in fees??

I know if I got my I-130 approval today, I would not be able to pay the $470 needed to do the NVC processing.

And I won't have it anytime soon. Luckily I do have a automatic savings plan in place that will help to pay for airplane tickets for me and her after she gets her visa. That savings plan will end in late December. But, there goes the 2nd Christmas not spent together since being married.

Hi produke.

Can't help on the living alone part,...but I can help with the calling everyday.

I have a phone plan that allows me to talk to my husband for 2hours 12mins daily. I don't know what your rate would be since I don't know where your calling, but I'm sure it would be less than mine which would be more talk time.

PM me and I will give you a referral number to call.

Also, you can also click the link below that's in my signature to get 10 minutes of free time to talk with your wife (no charge).

Hope that helps.
