under what situation you applied your expedite request at the NVC.?

It was only a letter explaining a family hardship.

Does anyone know what happens when an expedite is grated through NVC? They approved mine to expedite and when I called they said it will be forwarded to the embassy abroad.

My case was received at NVC on Jan 21 as well. I'm calling them daily, but based on other members' timelines, I'm not really expecting any good news for another week or two. Still, they say 10-20 business days, and we're now at the 10 business day mark, so they'll be hearing from me regularly :)

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I didn't see it anywhere so here it is..

Got my W7 all filled out to get ITIN sending it to my hubby to send in with his 2013 tax return. When his return is filed can we send a copy of his return with w2 and 1099 for the AOS or does it HAVE to be a tax transcript? I'm asking because it's going to take 6-8 weeks to get ITIN and taxes done so we can get tax transcript. Don't want to have to wait that long. Thanks.

FULL COPY is fine.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I'm not sure what happens in Jordan, but in Montreal;

everything is sent to the Consulate and you skip over NVC all together. You will get an appointment, and you take all your paperwork and pay your fees on the day of your interview.

Yeah, taking the full 20 days seems entirely standard. For us that's the 17th, which is a holiday rolleyes.gif But even with zero expectation of anything happening before then I don't mind calling every day. It's really a much nicer experience than calling USCIS, and it takes very little time out of my day to get that peace of mind.

Agreed! It's that one little thing that makes you feel like you have some kind of control over the situation, instead of sitting around and waiting.
