Approved....phase one complete

[RichiJenny 14]

hi guys, we were able to call uscis today and as of Friday lunchtime our expedite request had been approved. then today another phone call to uscis - a tier 2 who confirmed that indeed as of Friday, our petition was also approved.

its pretty overwhelming considering the personal circumstances. we spoke with an officer castro at tier two who has been the most helpful there yet.

personally again as this is my second time around with vj i couldnt have done it without the help of this site. and also immigrate2us.net.

from here id really like to personally thank I and G, Loto and Darnell for their expertise and also CRN for being a great buddy through this tough process. his situation is very similar to mine so i wish you a speedy approval too my friend. and in fact everyone thats helped and been of incredible support.

cheers

i know my friend. Im so relieved that stage is over and genuinely mean that without your input id still be waiting impatiently

yes its funny we were talking about NVC yesterday too. so im guessing we wait for the noa2 to arrive in the mail and wait about a week give or take for the case to be generated. most of the docs required we have already. will also include expedite docs for this stage too, and continue to collate evidence should the likely event i be required to complete an i601 after the interview.

Congratulations!!!!!! :dance: :dance:

[IndigoSkies 168]

Congratulations mate!

I am just wondering if my wife and I have any hope of an expedite. Early on in our relationship, she was battling with leukemia, I'd have to return home, knowing she was extremely ill and needed my support. That said, she's been fine for the past year and is leading a normal lifestyle..

Just wondering, considering what we've been through, if we would be likely to get an expedite with our I-130?

Thanks

Paloma&Adam, Normally USCIS considers the current serious condition for the expedite. However, it is not a bad idea to try for a medical emergency as expedited criteria. Who knows? At the end, if they approve your expedite, you are the gainer. If not, you have nothing to lose as well.

when i had a consultation with steven heller who was great, he said that in the quote topsy turvy world of immigration the more serious things are for the petitioner the better it is unquote.

id consider your reasons for an expedite valid. probably more so than ours in a way. i know its a tough situation. im not sure if you want to go into specifics in the public arena, but its worth a try as loto said. weigh up thee options - does your wife have bad days, how is she coping, is she just about coping, is she in remission and finally and i believe most importantly do you have a good honest relationship with the medical professionals who would provide the evidence for your. if they are willing to do it, and agree with your position, you have a very goood chance in my humble opinion. iif shes totslly cured and thered no chance of it returning, the chances are slim.

good luck

Thanks for the response.

My Wife is a high risk case, She's relapsed twice, and had a bone marrow transplant just over a year ago. Right now, she is in college in remission, but she does struggle somewhat, she is dependant on a host of medications to prevent rejection by her body of the new bone marrow. Psychologically, she is on anti-depressants and anti anxiety meds and misses me a huge deal. There is always a risk she could relapse again.

I'm sure we could get her docs to help out. How would we go about requesting an expedite after filing our I-130??

Thanks mate

ring the uscis and place an expedite service request. your wife will do this. and then she will receive an email shortly after confirming the request and also an expedite referral number.

your wife will have to briefly explain on the phone the reasons why you are requesting it.

then after a few days you will get a letter requesting medical proof in laymans terms. im sure the drs can help you out there. your wife will also have to write a letter explaining the reasons for the request and why she needs you home. you'll be given a fax number to send the docs to, also it doesnt hurt to fed ex the originals too for peace of mind. then just sit tight for a week or so and every so often a call or email to the uscis - always speaking to a tier 2 just to keep on top of it.

thanks for clearing that up ! Would she have to do this after filing I-130? Or Before..?

[RichiJenny 14]

also write a complete index of her daily meds. and if you get drs and paychi5rists letters and therapists - the more the better. in some cases. i know of a case that was approved with one mall surgeon letter. its whatever you feel comfortable with really.

You can do it with I-130 filing time or after. Definitely not before I-130 filing.

Richi has outlined it for you.
