Hi everyone,

I'm a July I-130 filer still waiting for our NOA2, and I am wondering if having a job offer is a good reason for an expedite. I've searched the forums and most of the expedites seem to be for health reasons, children, or financial strain like needing the second income (which we of course we do, but I know this isn't going to be a successful way to expedite).

Anyway, my husband is now at the interview stage for a teaching fellowship that would begin next summer (May or June, I'm not sure). Because we filed in July, we expected that we'd be done in April at the latest, but I'm starting to think that might not happen.

So my questions are these:

1. Will we be approved for an expedite if he gets the fellowship? The summer section would not be paid, but it would be preparing him for a paid high school teaching position in the fall.

2. Is being in the interview stage enough to ask for the expedite now? I'm worried that if we wait, the expedite won't be fast enough. I'm also going to make my "hey, it's been 5 months, #######" call in a little over a week. Could I ask them for an expedite then?

Thanks!

It is odd how they will approve these kind of expedites but deny health ones. Well, congratulations to you at least.

I think expedites are given based on how time dependent the situation is. In our case, the loss of a job would be entirely dependent on the speed of the visa processing, whereas in some health situations, the faster visa processing might be nice, or even more humane, but it doesn't have any real impact on the outcome of anyone's health.

We waited 5 months at CSC too and suffered because of it; we're not one of those couples who were inexplicably approved in a week or a month. I am trying not to be offended by the tone of your response, but you seem to be saying we are undeserving.

Update: I filed the expedite on Dec. 12 at 9am, was contacted by email for more information a few hours later, and faxed them a letter explaining the situation + evidence that afternoon. We never received an answer as to whether our expedite was approved or denied, but 5 days later...NOA2!

Great news. No telling whether your letter had anything to do with the expedite, since it's been the standard 5 months since you filed the petition anyway. Be aware there's a months long backlog for interviews in Montreal, so you'll definitely want to do Opt-in for electronic processing through NVC.
