Expedite in USCIS does not carry through to NVC or US embassy.

You will have to request it and it is at the discretion of the NVC and US embassy as to if they accept and expedite the case as well.

Every time you call they log it in their system that you called them. Other then that I don't know if it actually does something.

The expedite you got at USCIS is only good at USCIS. You're going to have to apply for an expedite again at NVC.

And by the way, there's a current backlog at NVC. Some people from late June and most of July are still waiting for their case numbers to be assigned.

The benefit of calling every day is that you'll find out right away if a case number has been assigned. The AVR is usually behind by a few days. And the initial information package you'll get from NVC is usually received a few days after the case number is assigned.

Check the "Immigration Timelines" section "IR1" subsection "full" and sort by NVC receive date to see who is getting what & when.

One of the most informed USCIS April filers (we'll call him "Dave") had to wait 40 days from NOA2 to NVC case#. He has spent the past 4 months helping everyone on VJ, and yet he had to wait SO long. No logic to the trends.

Once you have the case# it is possible to be done with billing and paperwork filing in 1 week, if you are exceedingly lucky.

Spend your time prepping so you will be ready to send your 3032, 840 and 230. After that it's about 2 weeks of scanning and checking to case closed & forwarding to embassy. Expect to get an interview date at least 1 month after the case closed.

So you can see there is hardly any wiggle room for an NVC expedite.

Until then, please understand that there are many here who have been waiting a VERY long time. Some still don't have their NOA2, and some are stuck in the USCIS mailroom --> NVC mailroom contractor holding pen.

For advice, read the "April 2011 USCIS filers" thread - about 650 entries there.

And the "CSC - NOA2 to NVC Delay" with 563 entries will give some tips and perspective too.

And to answer your question more direcly: calling every day just helps us all feel like we have some modicum of control and influence, but the effect is questionable at best.

You can still call/ email/ mail NVC and seek an expedite on the same ground that sought at USCIS.

Yes. That is true. I am not sure how much it is going to help as the wait to get scanned into the system is still valid. They are not going to dig out the file until it comes to them. You will be extremely lucky if your expedite is granted and get immediate action on your case/file.

The major battle is just getting scanned into the system at this current point. \

Thanks for the kind words M.
