If its true, I am very happy for you. Cogratulations. But this would prove the system DOES NOT work. Thousands of petitioners before you already waiting 5, 6, 7 months.

Yeah, I'd say it doesn't work also. You have to be really desperate to get an expedite, since the average person here is suffering in lots of different ways during the wait - they don't discriminate and rush someone unless it's really extreme. Doesn't sound like OP is in that position, since they didn't even expect an expedite, let alone apply for one.

I don't know that I believe automatic expedites based on location are a fair practice.

It's a false statement... They are working fast on some petitions from certain countries, that's more accurate!

Apparently!

Hopefully, they'll work on K1 faster in Vermont...the anxiety is getting annoying, waiting on pins and needles

When I called they said they are not expediting certain states. That's why the officer was so amazed.

Not a hater - just raising our infant son alone until my fiance gets here. It's really, really tough. That's not enough to buy an expedite though.

I don't think it makes someone a hater to say "that really isn't fair" when a lot of people are waiting in a long line and someone gets to skip it without a reason over and above what the others are going through. I have nothing against OP. I truly don't think that's fair.

I have to agree! A lot of people in similar situation or simply going through a hell of a wait being separated from their loved ones...

Personally I am happy for the OP but that doesn't change the fact I believe it's unfair skipping the line. Not OP's fault of course... "systems'" fault...
