Under wat are you asking him to expedite as far as I understand(could be wrong) it has to be for health reasons,also if you in removal and your court case is near and that is a 50/50. I hope that your attorney is not just trying to take money from you and he knows you are not qualified for an expedite. Please share your reason for expedite maybe Sandranj can give u some info. Good luck.

Lordhelpme,

I think it helps to have a good reason to request expedite,

however i know someone that did write and ask for expedite with no reason cited, after 18 months of waiting

i bet the they could choose to ignore or give an immediate feedback,

i dont think it affects the nature of anyones case, what do you think sandra?

Was that person out of the processing time if not that person should count their blessings but then again stranger things has happen especially with uscis, it definitely doesn't affect your case they could either accept or deny. Also you don't need your attorney to request an expedite as far as I know vsc will just send the decision to your attorney. My friend did it she is in removal.

Good luck

Domi-Nique Unfortunately the chance that you have your case expedite is slim , because delay to adjudicate a case is not reason to expedite, not even having a court day set up next year, just if the hearing is coming up soon,but you can ask to expedite based on extreme financial hardship,explain if you don't have a job and why you don't have a job, specify how much you need to survive per month,including rent,food,clothes,utilities bills etc... explain how you survived until now without a job, if someone is helping you financially then get a notarized letter from the person stating that and ask the person to mention that she/he can't keep helping you financially anymore. Send along with your letter copies of some bills/rent/bank statement etc...You must write that you asking to expedite based in Financial Hardship.

No news here. I've been waiting for almost 27 months, and yes I have an attorney.

Myjay, wow...,your case is really out of processing time.Ask your Lawyer to call vawa helpline:18025274888 & request VSC to adjudicate your case.I don't see why you should be waiting for more than 2.5yrs, to me VSC is picking up cases randomly-if your attorney don't make the call, they will probably take longer.If your timeline is way past the processing time that they posted on their website, you can request an adjudication,i also read that somewhere while i was waiting on mine too to be sure-it is called helpline for a reason.Only urgent cases & cases way out of processing times that will be responded to.Someone will call your attorney back with 3-7days unfailingly.Noone will call you back if u r an individual inquiring for your self.Pls, send a mail instead for self requests.

Even though my attorney said wait, i ran out of patience.I told her to call & let them know that my case was over 6months out of processing time(based on the timeline posted on the USCIS website @ d time) & request an adjudication .You can see when she called in July in my timeline & when they called her back/send me RFE,see when they received it & i just got approved last week.So calling does make a difference,don't continue to wait b/c everyone else is waiting,you have to know that every case is different & right now,if your attorney continues to call,your case will be adjudicated.By the way, everytime my attorney called to check or request somethg 4 my case, they always sent something out or look into it.Remember how correspondence btw my attorney & USCIS were screwed up in the mail cos of wrong address(then my attorney & VSC started faxing stuff to each other),also i was once scheduled for AOS interview w/o vawa approval in Dec & u know how everythg was then transferred back to VSC & new receipts issued all over again, imagine how people's files can get missing/separated just by being moved from one office to another.So, its better to stay on top of everything.I'm just glad the I-360 part is out of the way.

I wish u d best of luck and all others waiting.

I just viewed a copy of my I-360 emailed to me by my attorney.It was actually approved on the 13th oct.In d RFE sent to me by VSC, it says a decision will be made within 14 days of receipt of this response".USCIS received my response on 28th sept,made a decision on 13th oct & notice mailed 26th oct.So, actually, they were within the 14days range on this one.So,VSC was correct on this one.

Also, does every I-360 approval notice come with supplemental notice of deferred action?Mine came with one.
