Expedite i130

[alyssajharrington 0]

Hi all

I just learned you can request to expedite the i130?

We just barely submitted ours, can I request it be expedited still or would we have to have done that when we sent it in?

I know we would have to have a compelling reason and supporting documents for them to consider this. I'm just wondering if it's still possible?

Any info is appreciated

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met. The criteria are as follows:

• Severe financial loss to company or individual
• Extreme emergent situation
• Humanitarian situation
• Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
• Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
• USCIS error
• Compelling interest of USCIS

Thank you.

Does anyone have an example of humanitarian situation would be?

Also, if expedite is denied it doesn't mess up the rest of the process?

Humanitarian situations would be if your partner is a refugee, victim of a crime, severe poverty etc
