We asked for a NVC expedite and an embassy expedite last week as we have been in the system for 14 months with August, our second anniversary being 15 months. We pointed out all the issues with the incorrect information and issues with our documents through no fault of ours (lost pictures, holding up a form that had no errors).

Today hubby called and was told that based on our expedite request, the case was complete and sent to the embassy. I have not seen any confirmation of that yet or received an email but I am cautiously optimistic that we are finally seeing the end of this journey. Fingers and toes crossed

Hi Islandbabes, how do you do to file an embassy expedite ? I have been in the system for 16 months now and the NVC just told me my case is complete. I am now waiting for my case to be at the embassy of France and have my interview scheduled. The thing is that I NEED to be in the states by the end of august as my american husband is coming home on his leave from afghanistan. Would this play in my favor ?

Hi Islandbabes, how do you do to file an embassy expedite ? I have been in the system for 16 months now and the NVC just told me my case is complete. I am now waiting for my case to be at the embassy of France and have my interview scheduled. The thing is that I NEED to be in the states by the end of august as my american husband is coming home on his leave from afghanistan. Would this play in my favor ?

Hi,

You could contact the senator's office of your husband and ask them to request an expedite for you. I guess it could be a more effective way.

You just have to fax them a proof of your husband return and the story of why you want to be expedited. If your husband can contact them it is even better!

Since you're so close to the end, your options are kind of limited. At this point, I believe all you can do is wait for your case to reach the embassy and then you can either call or email the embassy, tell them about your situation, and request the soonest available interview date. If they don't have any dates available right now, keep trying. Someone may cancel their interview and open up a spot at any time. Many people recently were successful in rescheduling their interview date that way. Good luck!
