Expedite Approved

[Paul Elizabeth 3]

I just wanted to address a couple of responses regarding expedite I have seen on this site.

We, my US fiancee and I, from the UK, filed the I-129f on January 22, 2011 through the VSC, NOA1 issued January 24, 2011. At the time we didnt think we could expedite but we decided to give it a go, so on Feb 22 we called USCIS, and requested to expedited based on my US fiancee's medical and severe financial need. The next day they emailed us asking for evidence. We mailed it to them and this was recieved Feb 25. Yesterday we received a letter from them confirming the expedite was approved, the letter was dated March 24, 2011. This was after we called twice, spoke to a tier 2 operative, who told us to email and fax them to ask where their response was. We sent the fax and email on March 14, 2011.

So since expedite approved, and VSC sent letter and email stating approved, we are now waiting for the petition to be approved or get an RFE.

congrats on the expedite.

it is not that anyone is disagreeing its 100% impossible, its just very improbable. Rarely rarely do we even see them. Uscis is hit or miss when it comes to alot of things, and half the time they do not even follow their own rules. we just advise that people should not get their hopes up too high or assume things as it later ends up being a real let down. Its just like crossing a POE during the immigration process, its is up to each officer to decide ya or nay. Which is probably one of the biggest issues with USCIS.

So if they said it is approved you will now wait for approval of petition and congrats on the expedite.

Exactly. I think there was a statement made in another thread that K1s aren't even eligible for expedites (or something of that nature) which is just completely false.

But generally, impending weddings or job offers are not reasons for expediting in any way, shape or form. In other words, planning on your part does not constitute an emergency for USCIS.

I'm sorry to hear about your fiancee's medical issues.
