Expedite Request Denied

[paigecharlotte 0]

I made an expedite request for my stepson's I-130 petition. I am the US citizen petitioner. The application is at the Vermont Service Center with a March 4, 2014 priority date.

Approximately an hour after my request was submitted, I received an email indicating that my request was denied because the application is with an adjudicator. Does this mean that the application is currently being processed? Will we not have to wait the 5 month processing time?

He will wait regular processing time, as I said

B4 only death and acute medical emergencies

get expedites and this have to be proven...if the

child mother is feeling ill they will believe that

regular processing time will see her back in form

by the process is over

I filed for my step daughter to come live here in the US back in Dec 2013. In Feb 2014 there was a non death or non medical related emergency and my request for expedite was approved within 3-5 business days with no questions. I bevel that each case is unique and handled differently.

You expedite request was denied because your sons priority date is not current. You can only expedite a case whos PD is current, or qualifys under "Immediate Relative" (IR) status.

Adjudication = waiting on PD to become current

(Since you didnt give specifics on whether your son is over age 21, or whether or not you are a US Citizen, I am assuming he is under F1/F2B visa category)

My son is under 21 and unmarried. He qualifies as an Immediate Relative. The reply that I received stated that the petition is with an adjudicator. So, you are saying that the request was denied because the priority date is not current and that the petition is not with an actual employee who is processing the application?

If your son is under 21 then from what I understand, he doesnt have a "priority date" per se, because he qualifies as immediate relative (as your husbands step-son) and doesnt need to wait for a visa #. I thought "adjudicated" meant waiting for PD to become current (as in I-485 applications "waiting adjudication").

They law says that a child is considered for IR-1 if you get married with her mom before he get 18 years old ,is that your case?,if it is he is IR-1 ,i dont know why they denied im in the same case of you ,waiting for expedite for my stepson. i read many time the law and dont find where says something about ,PD or IR-1 can be expedite,we only aplied for humanitary reason ,and its at discrecion of the inmigration oficer.

Thank you for this information. My wife filed for me while I was in the U.S. My minor son is in Jamaica. We recently learned that his application has been approved. Now we are waiting to go through NVC and the U.S. consulate in Jamaica. We waited a little over 5 months for the approval of the I-130.

No - 'adjudicated' means the casefile was reviewed by an adjudicator and a decision made (approve/deny).

all casefiles wait in an adjudicating queue. When the queue position gets the casefile in front of an adjudicator, then there is no need for expedite, as a human has the casefile in his/her adjudication queue and that casefile is on the desk, being reviewed.

IR-2s do not suffer from PD being current.

'to adjudicate' never means waiting for a PD to become current.

is rare that an I-485 is waiting for a PD to become current, although there was a loophole on this last quarter of 2013 and it was possible for AOS cases, for LPR petitioners, to be in country and get a green card. That loophole is closed.

Lots of language you wrote, that is seemingly misapplied to current immigration terminology and process.

Sorry.

You will have to stick with the supervisor or ISO at USCIS that is handling your expedite request, hammer on that human via telephone until you get the answer.

if you included a reasonable letter in the request for expedite, then supervisory review should speed things along.

This is actually good news ,

as

the casefile is on a human's desk.

That human handles adjudication on the casefile.

It's been a bit - was the casefile approved during June 2014 or no ?

The I-130 was approved on August 8, 2014.

that's cool - pound on NVC to get things rolling for expedite request there,

and find out where the physical casefile is, calling USCIS, getting an ISO, asking :

1. was the casefile scanned yet into the A-File? If yes, what date did it finish?

2. did the casefile make it to the loading dock to get out to NVC? if yes, what date did it hit the loading dock?
