Hey VJ..

I put in a request for an expedite one week ago, t his is the first service r equest I have made. The rep on the pho ne said I should get a response in five days. I haven't heard anything, I guess I should not be entirely surprised considering how slow things are moving at TSC, but anyone who could share their experience with expedite request at TSC would be apppreciated. Specifically how long it took to hear back, how and if they requested evidence, if u were denied is there an appeal proccess? Thanks.

what is the request for? As far as I know they do not grant expedited requests for cuba. I could be wrong but Ive never heard of others requesting it. It is funny how there are other countries that are allowed to have expedited requests and they go through rather quickly but Cuba a country known for its horrible gov't mistreating their people they do not offer an expedite request.. stupid if you ask me.

If they do offer expedited requests what does it have to be based on?? I hope someone else can chime in and give you clarity.

Good Luck

Based on your timeline, your case is not considered outside normal processing times. For expedite requests you usually have to fulfill certain criteria- like financial hardship. Do you meet the criteria? As for service requests, they usually don't do anything until your case is outside the normal processing times and then they just tell you to wait 60 days for a response. For what it's worth, it took 7 months for my husband's I-129F to be approved.

Thanks ladies. I am aware there is criteria for an expedite. I did not just ask for one simply because he lives is cuba. I did make the request unDer extreme emergent situation. My post was seeking general information froM those who have filed an expedite request and the time it took for them to hear back regarding that request and whether anyone had a request denied and were able to appeal. I have evidence to support my request I just haven't hearD anything from TSC

Well, good luck! I hope it works out for you. You may want to get your congressperson/senator involved if you haven't already. Getting the I-129F approved is just the first step. Last I checked, the wait for an interview appointment in Havana was about 5-6 months.
