Hello everyone,

I filed for expedite service for my I-130 process and is being processed. they told me i will hear from them within 30-45 days. Today makes the 45th day of my expedite service and i still havent heard anything from them. What can i do to get my process done with. Has anyone been in this situation before? Any information is a help thank you.

Was your expedite request approved? or they said they needed 30-45 days just to decide whether to approve your expedite request or not?

_{this is the email that they sent me. but of corse i called after the 30th day and they told me that its 30-45 days. so i told the lady that on the email they sent me must have a typo because it says within 30 days. here is the email they sent me.}

_{--The status of this service request is:}

_{We have received your request for expeditious handling. Your situation meets the requirements for expedite processing of your application/petition. You should receive a decision within 30 days.}

im assuming it hasnt been approved yet. Now thats its 45 days. im concered if they ever looked at my process at all.

When is the best time of the day to call uscis for update status?

Probably first thing in the morning if you don't want to wait very long. May I ask how fast they got back to you that they approved your expedite after you submitted it? I put in an expedite request almost 10 days ago and haven't heard anything.

Not sure if it was approved so your best bet is to call.

The email that we got explicitly said that the request was approved and that our packet to be sent to NVC. Definitely call them to clarify.

im not sure if it has been approved the only notice I got from them was that they received my expedite request nothing more. they told me ill be contacted within 30-45 days. and now its been 45 days with no response.

That's a long time. I made my husband call twice to check on it and I was just about to get him to contact them again but they beat me to it and sent the approval email.

I definitely recommend calling them to find out because if it's been denied then you can move on or request reconsideration which is what I would've done if we were denied lol

You have the same NOA1 date I have. You haven't been transferred? All the other august 15th filers were transferred to California on the Feb 10th for processing with a few having their applications approved yesterday.

Your expedite request filed this late in the game may have actually slowed down your approval.

It is clearly stated there that you met the requirements for expedite processing, that means your expedite request was approved. However since their decision for the approval of your petition is taking longer than 30 or 45 days, you should call uscis and follow up on your case.

I dont think the expedite request slowed down the approval. When we requested for expedite due to typhoon, everyone from the philippines were transferred from nbc to service centers, except for a few and that included us. We remained at nbc and was approved within the 30 day time frame. And to be honest, im thankful we remained at nbc because as what ive observed, other service centers take forever to ship approved cases to nvc.

OP, just call uscis and ask for any updates with regards to your case. Hope you get your approval soon!

I put a service request for an expedite on Jan 17th and received a response on the 21st...so I would maybe follow up.
