I'll apologise in advance if I have hijacked the thread.....On the same topic, can a beneficiary request an expedite? My USC wife is in hospital again, some surgery may be required, its been 2 weeks now and she is in no position to write/fax anything to anyone. Hard times..... I am tempted to request one on her behalf. is this acceptable to USCIS?

It depends on what kind of proof you have and if it is very compelling proof for them.

The USC called for expedite but ours was based on Military. We didn't get any emails, we got our NOA2 in the mail 5 days after we requested the expedite (same day we got the NOA1).

Inky, I filed I-130 for my wife and I am also military; but how did you request to expedite your application? What number did you call to talk to them? I tried calling that military helpline, but it's useless. Thanks!

reg.ula.tion.me.ooow.2011 // tomcat.fight

to do list:
file i-130, petition for alien relative
get immigrant visa
get ssn card and green card
get employment authorization - not required
file I-751, petition to remove the conditions of residence (before 2nd year expires upon entry)
become a US citizen


Thank you Visajourney!

Inky, I filed I-130 for my wife and I am also military; but how did you request to expedite your application? What number did you call to talk to them? I tried calling that military helpline, but it's useless. Thanks!

Military expedite due to active duty deployment to active combat zone for 6 months.

He called the military help line, requested an expedite based on his immediate deployment, thats how he did it.

So pretty much they take our papers home with them on weekends? Is that safe? I mean what if they spilled coffee or hamburger grease on them? LOL I just imagine some guy eating a cheeseburger and mustard getting all over my papers. Man! Ok, so on a serious note. I do not see any touch today. I am worried. Will they for sure give me an answer? Is there anyway to check that online? I need to know if they will approve me because this is an urgent matter. I am going insane worrying about her.

Also to note, it took 60 days to complete our case at uscis

So, how long after you requested you got approved? Did you get any email or touches? I just wonder why they never answered me yet!

It is not advisable to ask for an expedite due to financial hardship on YOU, the USC. There is a chance that will hurt you in getting approved altogether. You haven't stated your financial situation, income, etc. However, informing them that you take care of an aunt, etc in my opinion only hurts your chances of getting approved.

When you say one of the reasons you are asking for an expedite is because people in your city are treating you badly, "What do you mean by that?"

I then requested an expedite due to financial hardship as well as humanitarian because people in my city are treating me badly and I need to move but financially I can not due to her and I take care of my aunt who can not take care of herself.

The area I live in is treating me badly because I am Mexican.

Is it bad to tell them that? I am taking care of her and she has accepted to let my cousin be a co-sponsor he owns the roofing company. I can get here here because he makes well over 100,000 USD a year. Is it bad to say my neighbors are treating me bad?

I don't see how your neighbors' treating you badly can be reason for an expedite. If they are doing something to you that is against the law, maybe you should report them to the police.

I have to move to Illinois though. I can not move until she gets here. I have hardship because her country in her city is become dangerous. She has things going on there in her town and there is no clean water and food for her. I have print outs of the articles. She needs to be here soon.

What do you mean by 'I have to move to Illinois'? Can you explain? Are you living with your aunt and does she live in a bad neighborhood?

Also, I was touched again in the night. How come I got touched in the night? What is the reason they are touching me in the night time?

I have to move to IL to be in an area where I can work and be free to be myself. Here I have to act different and I want to be free to do what I want. I will pack up my aunty and take her with me. Her son will come too. We can not move without my wifey. I have to go to IL because it is better for me and I can work better there. My cousin is relocating the company anyway.

Stating that your neighbors are treating poorly isn't going to get you an expedite. In fact, why would they give you an expedite? So they can treat you and your wife poorly? It's a law enforcement issue.

You state that you need to move to Illinois. Why?

You state that you cannot move until she gets here. Why?

Venezuela doesn't have any new problems. Venezuela has been dangerous for years. Venezuela has had water and food rationing problems for years.

You state that your cousin owns a roofing company and makes over $100k/yr. I assume that means he pays taxes on over $100k/yr, correct? I.e. After expenses his income is over $100k/yr.

You haven't stated any reason that I see worthy of an expedite and you have thrown some stuff out there that could potentially hurt you from getting an approval on the Visa itself, IMO.

There are reasons that visas are approved and aren't approved. You are basically telling them that you don't make enough money (as evidenced by needing a sponsor), apparently your life is in danger and you need to move (why would they want to expedite to put another person's life in danger as well), you can't move until she gets here (why?), you can't afford to move, and to top it off... there is another indidual (your aunt) that you take care of as well.

I think you just made your approval of the visa itself an uphill battle.

I see. It would be better if you could move there and have a more stable situation for yourself. I don't see how your wife's situation affects your ability to move. I am moving before my fiance comes here.

It seems the best thing for you to do is to collect as much evidence as possible concerning her situation there following the guidelines I believe someone provided earlier. What the government wants to see is that you are in a stable position to petition her.

Who is to say what the 'touching' is about. I didn't get any touches at all and now my petition is in Casablanca.

What you beg to differ with is the facts. I am telling you my wife needs me. She needs me to take care of her. I will have money in IL. I do not see nothing wrong with telling them that I am being treated bad as I told them I needed to relocate with her and my aunty. The job is moving and I need to move with the job. I know that my co-sponsor is a decent one and it will work. You also neglected to tell me why they are touching me at night?
