hi, nice to meet you...just curious what kind of visa did you request expedite processing? I am applying for my fiance's K1 but unfortunately that doesn't fall under the expedite permitted visas on the website so i didn't send a request along with the packet in the mail. Wondering if I should've tried anyway...

. If you are trying to use the typhoon as your reason it will be humanitarian reason.. I think.. :) just write them a letter of your situation.. They will analyze it and get back to you with the decision.. Hope this helps.. :)

Really? Maybe that's because you are applying under the spousal visa and not fiance visa. For those that requested expedite, did you call USCIS or sent a letter to the service center? If a letter, may I see one as an example? Been searching this site and google and did not find any examples. I suppose it's a free format letter explaining the request for expedite but any pointers and or specific letters might be more helpful.

Good luck on your petitions everyone!
