K-1 Visa Expedite - VSC requesting

[Jose and Nicole 0]

We have been asked to submit documentation for expediting out K1 visa because I will be traveling abroad and we would like to be married before. Can anyone tell me what type of documentation the VSC would like to have - are they just requesting a copy of my travel orders. Will that be enough or is there other documentation that they are seeking for the K-1 Expedite Visa process.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Expedite Criteria

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met. The criteria are as follows:

• Severe financial loss to company or individual
• Extreme emergent situation
• Humanitarian situation
• Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
• Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
• USCIS error
• Compelling interest of USCIS

If you have already filed your application or petition:

You can make an expedite request by contacting the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283. The NCSC will take a "service request" and forward your expedite request to the office with jurisdiction over the application or petition. You also have the options of 1). visiting your local office by scheduling an InfoPass appointment or 2). writing a letter to the local office or service center.

If they are willing to expedite your application - you are lucky and provide them whatever you can.

Coz the reason you have shared here would not be good enough for USCIS to expedite your case.

As previous user has mentioned all the reasons why an application could be expedited and yours does not align with either reason.

A copy of your military deployment orders.

Ok, I just went through this this month. Here is what I did...

On 4 Feb, I call the USCIS military helpline and talked to a person. I explained my situation (upcoming military deployment). She told me that if I would wanted to she could submit an expedite request over the phone. I agreed. She asked a few questions (receipt number, etc...).

The same day, I received an email from VSC asking me to fax them a copy of my orders and a letter signed by me with my official rank stating my reasoning for requesting an expedite.

On 7 Feb, I faxed all the documents to the fax number provided by the email.

On 22 Feb, I received a letter in the mail informing me that my request to expedite due to military deployment was approved and that I will hear fromtheir office soon.

On 23 Feb, I received an email from USCIS stating that my petition had been approved and that they are forwarding the case to the NVC (State Department).

It worked great and very fast. What I gathered from the process is that it can't hurt to ask. The worse they can say is no. Good luck!
