No you will not be approved. Being apart is hard financially and emotionally for everyone, you are not facing undue hardship/ anymore hard ship than any other family going through this.

I wonder if actually OP has requested the petition to be upgraded to a CR/IR-1 from an F2A and that was approved? Unless there is something going on that would really qualify for a hardship waiver, I'

Couldn't we all have applied for an expedite then? I'm so confused...

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

Yes, You could apply an expedite. Whether USCIS will grant it or not, is another matter.

Also, keep praying to God seems to help too :)

*Received what I thought was a false checklist on this date as well*

*Problems: Called on 10/27/14 11/5/14 and 11/20/14 just to be proactive On all of these dates except the last, NVC kept telling me that my IV document probably hadn't been reviewed yet. On 11/20 the representative told me that the BC needed to be inextensa and the marriage license. True enough I had sent an extracto. But requested a supervisor review bc I knew the marriage lic was inextensa. 2 days later called again and got the same supervisor who told me that the marriage lic needed the proper signed legalizada (sticker on the back)

Sent necessary documents/Received: 11/20/14 and 11/26/14

Called 12/15/14: got Arthur....after he checked and verbally spanked he sent me to supervisor Silvia who said she would pull my file and try to figure it out.

Case complete: 12/19/14 Sylvia called and left a voicemail, called and confirmed later that night and status changed to N/A.

Thank you so much Sylvia. May God bless you and your family.

Appointment date and time received: 12/27/14

***FAST FORWARD***

APPT complete/Visa approved: 2/5/2015

I had not posted earlier in the thread. Therefore there is nothing to prove me right or wrong on. The point of my post was that folks need to take a look at how this particular approval proceeded before worrying about whether they should or should not apply themselves for an expedite. Or whether they should have in the past and now feel regret. We all share our stories here so that the community becomes a touch stone for everyone to know whether their individual process is running consistent with "the norms." This lessons the stress a little. I saw a few folks on this thread worried about whether they misunderstood the expedite process by looking at this example. My comments are for them. I apologize if this offended anyone.

That's what I meant, surely we would all qualify for an expedite if the only criteria are that we miss our spouses and visits cost a lot. Up until today, I have read that they are for life-and-death/emergency situations only. Not even imminent childbirth qualifies for an expedite usually. How can they deny it to a woman about to have a child, but in the next breath give it to someone who should just wait their turn? Clearly OP has something else going on that DOES qualify for an expedite and hasn't disclosed it (which is totally his right not to), or he is misunderstanding and has just had his case upgraded from an F2A to a CR-1 (he mentioned he has very recently become a citizen).

Sorry if my post sounds mean, but I'm genuinely confused. Perhaps expedite criteria has been loosened recently or something :blink:

Expedite approval is at the discretion of the immigration officer. In my case, i was told that pregnancy was not a criteria for expedite in this forum by many members.. I tried anyway and it was approved. Anybody can apply for an expedite, it doesn't hurt anything, worst case scenario is that they don't approve it and you move on. In my case, i applied for an expedite due to my spouse being pregnant and entering her last trimester. She wasn't high risk or anything. I just wrote a letter explaining how airlines wouldn't let her fly if process took any longer and we were getting closer to her due date. And how i would have take FMLA leave to attend the birth of our child, which i wouldn't get paid for by my job (financial loss) and I was approved. Not saying that everyone will get approved, but anybody can definitely try. Some VJ members are so quick to tell you that such and such does qualify for expedite, but if u don't try you won't know. USCIS and NVC have this thing called HUMANITARIAN GROUND, it'a at the discretion of the officer and it comprises a lot. So just try.......

Disclaimer: i am not telling people to get their spouses pregnant and apply for an expedite in order to get through the process quicker. Do so at your own risk, lol....... Some people get approved, some get denied. I was just one of the lucky ones, because i TRIED.
