new filers

[WaitingToExhale 3]

hi all...just trying to link up with some may filers or any getting ready to file for june...our lawyer has all our docs and should b sending them off next week so we're looking at a early june noa1 date...

we filed for a k1 last year august but in december vsc made an error with our file and we tried everything to get them to fix it but they said we have to refile.we got a lawyer who said that would be our best bet so we got married in april and starting over...

waiting with vjers who have similar timelines is easier i've found so anyone out there who wants to wait with me just hit me up.

goodluck to all and God bless.

How long do you have to wait to request an expedite?

I requested an expedite in the same package that I filed my I-130 petition in.

I don't think you HAVE to wait as long as you meet the criteria KK.
