Congrats, but be aware the issue of your overstay doesn't come into play until your interview, or were you approved at interview?

I have the overstay issue to contend with in London, and we are preparing an I-601 hardship waiver to be handed in if I am denied.

Best of luck, but be prepared if you have an overstay to contend with.

Grats! What's the date of your approval? I want to update the spreadsheet asap

ok Thanks taylor , im gonna call after 6 better, i will let you know whatever they tell me!!

you know that you dont need to call NVC, right? Just send an email requesting an expedite. In your case, it may be harder since you sent all the packages already but you should try anyways if you want.

CAN you help me with the expedite letter?, im a litter bit scared cause i dont want this delay the process, and the only reason i have to expedite is the thing that happened with Texas.

i called and they told me that i cant expedite for that reason , i dont know what to do and if i do it , i dont know how..:S

I agree with you Xelance, and I also think an email with all the docs attached should make it too.

Lara anyways go ahead do something.

I cant give you my letter or anything (it is too personal), but I can give you some pointers:

1) In the subject of the email, write: Attn PI Supervisor Sue: Expedite request for XXXXXXXXXX( your case number here) and include the beneficiarys name

2) Put both your names and birthdates, and your NVC case number in the email. Attach all documents (screenshot of USCIS website saying they made a mistake, your NOA1 and NOA2, any correspondence you had with senators,congressman, anything related to USCIS)

3) Be honest, and if your English is not that good, then try to find someone who can help you write the email so you can get your point across.

4) Remember, it is not NVC that approves your expedite...they just forward your expedite email to the Consulate. It will be the Dominican Republic consulate that approves or denies the expedite in your case.

5) It can take a week or two to get an answer back from NVC if it had been expedited or not..

6) You may want to check other peoples timelines from Dominican Republic to see if an expedite would even make a difference for you since you sent all your papers already to NVC. For me, an expedite makes a huge difference because it normally takes 165 days from NOA2 to interview date in Bogota consulate. Your consulate may not take as long, so it really might be wiser to just go with the route you are taking, and not do the expedite.

7) Yes, you can be approved for USCIS error, as both Tina Benoy and I were expedited under that criteria. It does take some work though, and of course more patience.

just checked your consulate and it definitely looks like it takes a while from NOA2 to interview. I would try the expedite if you can.

OK thank you so much, im gonna wait for my husband cause as you can see my English is not so good . :s do i have to send the request to the nvcinquary@state.gov or a different one? and if i dont have the documents scan right now could i send just the request?

[xelance 31]

I would not send the request without the documents as it would most likely be denied, and then you would have just lost time. I would get all in order and then send the expedite request. Yes nvcinquiry@state.gov is the right email to send the request to. Just explain the problems you are going through while being without your daughter..its a time in your daughters life where she really needs you and every month without her is time lost in your relationship. Stress that every month counts, and that USCIS added even more time to the amount you have been without her. What I did was put USCIS at fault, and then put problems that resulted from their error (financial problems most of all for us).
