I130 Expedite Request APPROVED! I think?? ?

[DREAM COMES TRUTH 2]

I am in Sanaa, Yemen right now and I am still waiting for an approval from uscis. I applied 9 months ago but with unrest in Yemen I was wondering if I can expedite my wife's i130 based on the unrest and ongoing civil war in yemen? Please any help would be greatly appreciated!

While pursuing a K3 is technically an option to the OP, it's not a fast course of action. Current State Department policy has rendered it virtually unobtainable, even if the two petitions are not tied together at the USCIS level.

Thank you and Congrats! On what grounds was your expedite approved?

It was on humanitarian grounds, specifically the threat to my husband's safety and quality of life in Cairo. Also it not being safe for me to visit him for the foreseeable future.

Before calling the NCSC please have available

-your receipt number:

-type of application filed: I130 for Spouse of USC

-date filed:

-Online case status

-Have all relevant correspondence with USCIS

What to ask them?

During your call take note of the following information:

About them:

-The name of the NCSC representative:

-The id number of the NCSC representative:

-The date and time of the call:

-Any service request referral number, if a service referral on a pending case is taken:

About our case:

-When calling, ask them for a service request. (Expedite Request)

once they give u a service request they will give you a ticket number and tell you to check back with them using that number in a few days.

In case they refuse or tell you that they cannot answer your question, then ask to be transferred to a Tier 2 ISO (Immigration Service Officer) supervisor, who will have more privileges to access detailed information about your case. Once you get an ISO, be very polite, and take notes for your records. Ask them for their badge number. That way you can reference each conversation by date and the badge number of the ISO.

Also ask them to review case status - THEY can - it's on their screen.

If the NCSC doesnt issue a service request, please make sure the NCSC representative tells you the reason why he did not issue the request. (This information you'll need to follow up)

My I-130 was approved on May 23rd, and now it has also completed the NVC stage which was finally complete on September 3rd. It takes a while for the USCIS to send your case to the NVC, around a month, and it takes around two months to get done with the NVC process. My wife is now just waiting for an interview in at the U.S embassy in Sanaa.

Hello, this is my first post on VJ and I really hope you guys can help me.

On April 5th I made an Expedite Request over the phone for my i130. Then on April 10th I received this email:

Type of service requested:

-- Expedite

The status of this service request is:

Your case is currently being adjudicated. You should receive a notice of action* within 30 days.

*A notice of action may be in a form of Approval Notice, Denial Notice, Transfer Notice, Request for Evidence, Notice of Intent to Deny or Notice of Intent to Revoke.

At first glance I thought my service request was approved, and my I130 case was being adjudicated, but then I thought maybe they're talking about my expedite request?

Does this mean that my service request is being adjudicated or my actual i130 case is being adjudicated?

I called the USCIS many times and each time they give me different information. One lady said "they just disregarded your expedite because it isn't needed, your case is being adjudicated" and another representative said "your service request or i130 will receive a reply in 30 days" I asked her which is it my service request or my actual i130 case she said either. CONFUSED

Maybe you guys can help me understand their email response? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

this is more than 5 years later but im having the same clarification question - did it ever end up being that when they said case is being adjudicated, did they just mean the decision to expedite, or the I-130 itself? thank you for your help
