Confused about our expedite request

[faith26 0]

Hi everyone..I need help. I am really confused regarding our expedite request. My hubby called the USCIS today and spoke to tier 2 officer to follow-up our request. The officer said that our papers were forwarded to the state department and there is nothing they can do, she also said that it will take 4-5 months to be approved in there. I am really confused about the status of our papers now. I am confused why it is in the state department already, are they the one who will approve or deny the request for expedite? We haven't received any mail from USCIS after our NOA1. Please enlighten me. Thank You very much.

It sounds like they denied your request, since the tier 2 said it would take 4+ months. I would call back in a couple of days, get a different tier 2, ask again just in case. What was your expedite based on, when did you make it and what did you submit as evidence?

Thank you Penguin_ie for your response. I really appreciate it. The expedite request is about the health condition of my hubby. He was diagnosed of cancer last October and he is undergoing chemoradiation and is scheduled for surgery next month. We resubmitted our I-130 packet ( we sent it last october but was returned to us because hubby forgot to sign the one form) last November with an expedite request and other lab results. They sent us a mail last december asking for another evidence, a letter from his doctor,my hubby sent it thru fax. Hubby called again and they said to wait for 30 days to receive a mail. After 30 days of waiting, no mail still so hubby called yesterday and said that the ISO said the only thing she can do for now is to mail the state department to request for an expedite again but there is no assurance if it will be granted. She gave us this email ad lockboxsupport@dhs.gov to follow-up for our request. I know I need to wait for their reply but I want to get information from others here too. Thank You very much.
