Well, I have several hardship reasons but my number one reason is that my youngest daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor. There are alot of issues that go along with that but there are also financial hardships and emotional hardships ( as most everyone on this site has ) They would only let me give one hardship. I just need a letter from the attending physician stating her diagnosis etc... Had I known I could erquest expediting over the phone, I would have done it from the start. We are almost at the end at VSC anyway.

I mainly want to expedite because of the I601 I need to file when he goes for the interview. The approval has to come from Honduras and I hear it can take another 6-8 months.

BTW....

my attorney told me today that the I-130 and the I-129F's are now being processed by the same adjudicator. They will get approved at the same time.

I am assuning that once they have both files, they combine them. That could be the reason for all the touches in October. Maybe they were combining our petitions. Just a guess tho.. :rolleyes::idea:

Esposadetucho, sorry to hear about your daughter. Hope she will get well soon by the grace of God. I hope you get your expedite approved as well.

Why do you think some of us July filers did not get touched in October? What could be the reason for that? I mean I did not get any touches even in November or December. Is this bad news?

Dear esposadetucho,

Really nice to know that both of your cases are now been started to be adjudicated...By the chance, did u get any idea from your attorney that how long is it going take to complete the adjudication for the approval? How long does it really take? Please update us your situation so that we can get hopes....

Thank you

Sonia.....

Hi guys !

I only requested my cases to be expedited. I have to send them proof of my daughter's condition. I have 20 days to send it to them. I have the hospital sending me all of her summary letters from all of her visits. They should be here tomorrow.

Then once they get the proof, then I will find out if they will expedite it. Had I known you could request expediting over the phone I woould have done it months ago...

Anyway, I'll keep ya posted.

My attorney said if they approve the expedite, it should move really fast... One would hope !!!

I hope everyone gets approved by tomorrow ! Waiting is horrible.

OK, this week will tell us if the "touches" have anything to do with the approval times. Vj is only a small amount of the people who filed at VSC. There were a gazillion others who were probably got touched on or around 10/2.
