NVC Expedite

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

Morning VJ'ers,

Quick question, can you have your case expedited? Mine's was through USICS, do I need to call them and repeat the process or is it known already?

Someone with a K-1 was working on getting through quicker using the expidite. The problem is that it will not effect the wait time between NOA2 and NVC (they would not entertain an expidite on something they claim they do not have) so they will tell you to call back when you have a case number.

Once they have your case number you still have to pay AOS and IV fees and mail them the needed information so an expidite, if it was even available, would not buy you much time as NVC is pretty fast once you actually get into the sytem.

Your NOA2 was approved 7-26. You are now in a long line waiting for an NVC case number.. They are currently runing about 32 days behind on average and still slowly losing ground. Assume it will be near September when you get to NVC (This can always change of course - they could speed it up)... At that point if you have all your paperwork ready to go you can blast through NVC in a couple of weeks (pay your fees and send in your paperwork) and hopefully get an interview date decided in late september which makes a November interview date easily possible.

I'm sure you have avenues to explore to shorten these dates.. If I was in your shoes and had an expidite through USCIS I would be trying to leverage that with the NVC (buying sympathy) to get to the front of the queue to get my case number, and then hopefully to shorten the time between sending in the documents and a decision on getting the interview date set...

Thanks for the information, anything I can learn or use is good. My CDR is going to call them to see if I can get a case number sooner than later so I can start sending the paperwork in since I have everything except my wife's PCC, she should have that by next week. I just want to keep the ball rolling, we made it through USCIS in under 2 months, I have heard this is truly lucky, just want to keep the fire lit:)

Yeah I saw that you went through USCIS in six weeks.. That is amazing!

Also I realized in my last diatribe I did not answer your actual question: The expidite for USCIS does not follow the case afer it is approved.

I take that back, I was blessed to have my case expedited in such a matter. I guess I will have my boss call them and see if we can get the same service. Hope to be reunited with my wife before the holidays....

Don't take what I say as gospel.. whatever you did to get them to approve you in six weeks may be able to get them to push it up through the queue to NVC and get your interview sooner. The dates I threw out are based on nothing special happening from here on out.

I hope you are succesful!!

Thank you and I wish you sucess as well. My CDR just came in and informed me that NVC has my case but it's not in the system yet. And the expedite will take some deployment orders, he is talking to the XO right now. If something can be done, I will share it on here so others can benefit from my experience as well.

Just trying to get my wife over here through any means legally ASAP. I am not going to get orders, but since I work for USTRANSCOM he is going to see what can be done. Supporting 2 households is a strain on the finances and since she can't work due to not knowing when she is leaving isn't making it any better.
