many, MANY congrats Rudyzn!!! You must be over the moon with this news!!!!

I'm feeling quite disheartened however knowing that you requested an expidite so it makes me wonder what kind of wait we are in for if we did not request an expidite.

I'm really regretting my decision to not do DCF. I'm highly considering if we don't have our NOA2 by early December to cancel our application and re-apply through DCF as it looks like people are getting approved within 30 days or less:

http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=763941&page=13

I'm leaving the UK at the end of January and it breaks my heart to think my husband could possibly be months behind in joining me.

2013-22-05: Sent I-130 to Chicago Lockbox

2013-10-06: NOA1 received - Petition at Overland Park, Kansas

2013-11-12: Email stating our I-130 has been transferred to a local USCIS Office

2013-13-12: Email stating our I-130 was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office

Have now decided to do DCF through the London Embassy:

2013-22-10: Overnighted a second I-130 to London

2013-24-10: NOA1

2013-21-11: Letter requesting that we cancel our I-130 petition filed in the U.S.

2013-09-12: NOA2

I requested expedite 2.5 months ago (too long ago when compared to expedites on VJ that were actually approved, I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM USCIS). Look at another post I put somewhere recently, stating the reasons why I do not believe my case was expedited.

As soon as I get my NOA2 hardcopy I will let you know if this is comming from OP, KS or from Lees Summit.

Wow congratulations!!! Very happy for u! And my PD is the same so even more excited wink.png est of luck with everything and hoping for the best for all of us! smile.png

Samreen23, DO LET US KNOW when you hear from USCIS!!

That way we will all know if my case was expedited or not (I seriously doubt it was).

THANK YOU ALL!!! GOOD THINGS ARE COMMING FOR US ALL

I seriously doubt that, here's why:

-Most expedites do not take this long. It has been 2.5 months since I requested it. People who request expedites usually get approved in about a month or so (I have sent PM to all people requesting expedites in previous months, and I know their "timelines")

-Even though I tried calling the USCIS many times in order to get some news, I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM THEM REGARDING MY EXPEDITE REQUEST, SO I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS APPROVED.

-The reasons for my expedite were not super urgent, life threatening, or any of the mentionned circumstances...(US Embassy in our country even told us how to manage our situation while waiting for our approval... their argument was very good, I hate to admit)

Anyways, WILL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS I GET MY HARD COPY.

NBC is at it again I tell ya'

Look at another post I put somewhere recently, stating the reasons why I do not believe my case was expedited.
