Saylin (or anyone else), how much do you know about expedites?

My husband sent an email on monday requesting one.. and today I called to find out if our AOS had been reviewed yet and I was told that it hadn't been input into the system.. but that my expedite request was granted. I asked what the expedite entailed and she said that they would be sending our case to the embassy shortly, so I asked if they were going to review the AOS before sending the case to the embassy and she hesitated and said "yes, probably". So now I'm a little uneasy and I'm not really sure what's going to happen next. Anyone have any experience with this?

I'm the beneficiary.

HI, We got our NOA2 approval on May 9th and I've started calling for a case number, but no luck yet.

To prepare I have a few questions, if I used a US address for all correspondance (and a Belgian address) will I still need to prove my intent to relocate to the US? Isn't it proof that I received mail at a US address during the visa process?

Another question I will be using cash instead of income as well as a co-sponsor for the AOS. (cash is 3 x poverty amount), how do I prove the cash? Is an account statement from my us bank account enough?

Another question, I may already move to the US address before my husband's interview and he'd say in Belgium, are there any issues of doing this in the middle of the process?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

There are no issues with you moving back to the USA. Use a bank statement. I wonder if a notarized one by the bank manager would help?

If the expedite was approved, the case will likely be packaged and sent off within the next few days. I don't think they'll review the AOS at this point, unless the review has already begun.

Keep in contact with NVC for now to know what's happening with your case and if it's been sent out yet.

Fellow VJ Members,

Is it normal for NVC to take a week or longer to invoice AOS bill? I checked the FAQs saying it is taking a week for AOS to be invoiced.

Is there anyone here who recently got invoiced? Please advise.
