Expedite question.

[Diddl 2]

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.

Alright then I will gather my evidence and I guess wait for them to ask for it. You can't judge my situation though until you've bitten off a bite of my burrito.

Yes, sure. However, I can say the same - my fiance is the sole breadwinner of a family of 10. Both his parents are ill. His mother has cancer and they can't afford treatment and she has small children to take care of. My fiance barely makes enough to feed himself, yet he has to give all to his family. We all have our situations that we probably could deem urgent. By the way, the father of my children is Mexican. I do have some idea.

I am headed to bed for now so if you got more to say I will touch base on it in the morning. Thank you for your responses!

I had to reword that in case you took it wrong way. I knew it in Spanish made since but in English you may took it as offensive. At the same time I can say that yes I agree and in your case I think you had good reasons. I know it is very stressful. Oh well it is in the power of the creator not mine so whatever will be will be. To all of you goodnight!

Over 80% of the petitions they get are for beneficiaries that make very little money and need the support of the petitioning USC. That is inconsequntial.

If you have money when you get to Illinois, then I suggest you pack up and go to Illinois. They do not care if you "need or want" to be with your aunt or wife, nor do they care if you "need or want" to move with your job. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is "Do you make the income or do you have a sponsor that makes the income." If the answer is yes, then sit back and wait your time.

As far as the expedite, all the reasons you have given are inconsequential. If you can prove that your "wife's" life is in imminent danger. I.e. Lives in a small village and hundreds are being killed, etc then an expedite would hold merit. Living in a dangerous city in Venezuela that has little food and little water isn't a reason. Ultimately you could send her money to get food and water. I.e. Survival of the fittest. People in Venezuela get food and water. There are extreme shortages throughout the country and it may mean she has to pay double or triple the cost for it, but she does live in a socialist third world country that has it's fair share of problems.

The touches is irrelevant. Many people's cases (my own included) don't even show up in their registry. Many people go through the whole process, NOA1, NOA2, Interview, Visa in hand, etc without their case ever showing up in the registry. I personally would pay no attention to it. And regarding the time... again, inconsequential. Did you question why you got a text at 2am stating your petition has arrived and your NOA1 has been sent. Same for NOA2, etc. Don't lose sleep, nor even pay attention to the touches as they don't mean anything.

I suggest you prepare for a long 8-10 month process, send money to your wife as needed if that is what you choose to do, and if you need to move to Illinois for employment reasons then go ahead and do it. Telling USCIS that you have all these problems could only hurt your final approval IMO.

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?

No matter what you say man I know each case is different but I feel I NEED the expedite. I have things going on not mentioned herein which need to be addressed. I do not want to air out all of my dirty laundry on here to a bunch of strangers, however, I realize expedites questions have been known to make steam arise here. I have been watching this site silently for months so I know how much tension builds up when somebody speaks of the "expedite" word! I am not going to prepare for an 8-10 month process because God loves me and He will make a way for my expedite to get approved. I know I will get what I want in the end. I am going to fight for it and not give up because I want my wife here soon. Her area is going through a crisis separate from that of her country as a whole. I will get her here before the time-frame you listed. You mark my word!

Expediates are supposed to rare, if every member that felt that they needed to be with their spouse/SO and that life we better together and that you can't protect them while apart applied for an expediate and it was granted that would soon be standard processing. Truthfully you are at the mercy of the person that first looks at your request. From what I have seen they are the ones that will say yes or no and each one is a bit different. I have seen some pretty weak ones make it through and some half way decent ones get denied. You can ask and most likely you will be denied and sit in line with the rest of those still waiting.

I already request it. I am just waiting for their reply. I do not think any of us know the answer already. I trust that God will help me!

I doubt that touches mean you will be getting an approval anyway soon. I received a touch too after hours. I did not think twice about it because I figured it is pretty common at the initial stage. I think you should wait it out a few months and if things are still tough then maybe you can try to do the expedite. It will give you time to get the rest of your money and paperwork together. Good luck though in the meantime!

[Ready to do it 101]

Good luck. I did not mean to for there to seem like any tension. It makes no difference to me whether you get your expedite or not. Since you have already sent in your request it is pretty irrelevant at this point. I would have advised you come on here BEFORE making the expedite request and airing all your dirty laundry here so the longtime members here could tell you what you should tell them and what you shouldn't. That is what this site is all about, helping people. Based on what you have written on this site, if you told them the same thing I would assume that 99% chance your expedite is denied and further because of some of the things you wrote you have created some unnecessary headaches for yourself that will probably raise some issues with the CO when trying to get approved for the Visa itself.

Hi! I requested an expedite so I called to check the status. When I did they state that my case is still in Phoenix and that they can not process my service request until my case is in their possession. But, I mailed it to Chicago so what is up?
