Haiti expediting

[princessmiaa 0]

I know there was a post on expediting petitions from Haiti and recently another Haiti flyer and myself read on USCIS that this is still in effect. What I wanted to know was anyone petition expedited any faster for them or the same 5+ months to receive NOA2 and Interview that everyone else has?

This is something i have been struggling about, it is cleart on the USCIS website that Haiti beneficiary have their case expedited. Hwoever when my wife and i called to ensure we obtain it, there were acting like they are not aware of this decision on the website and they asked us to provide supporting documents related to our expedite request. So we made a request under pregnancy as my wife currently having some complications during her pregnancy. We faxed some documents and a note that her doctor gave her. 2 days after, officer Mina, responsible for expedite called my wife and saying that he wants to approve our request but to ask our doctor to send a normal letter not just a note. So my wife contacted the hospital and asked them to fax her medical information to immigration last thursday. So we are waiting for today and tomorrow to see what the officer will say this time and if our request is approved.

I would suggest that u made a request and do not expect your case to be automatically expedited at USCIS website pretends it.

I called this morning and they are no longer offering to expedite petitions because of the natural disaster (earthquake) I called this morning. She gave me a list of reason to expedite but none applied to me. I told the customer service rep about what I read on the website. But I guess since it's been two years now they no longer offer expediting.

i filed the I-129f in October (i am in my 3rd month of waiting) and i am still waiting, so i am assuming there are no more expedites for haiti...even though the website still says they are expediting.

i know many members say that USCIS doesn't update their website very often, so i am assuming that is what is happening here.

if anyone hears differently, though, i would LOVE to know, so that i can call and request an expedite as well!!!!

Thanks and after reading post here, I guess they just failed to update.That update was from March last year so,I guess they think it's all better in Haiti now(NOT!).

That was depressing to hear and I was so hopeful that they were still getting help. Anyway, that's what happens when they think nobody is looking..but we are and that's unprofessional to not update such an important issue. Our loved ones are still having hard times over there. Anyway wait we shall and pray we will! Thanks for checking it out.
