Hi susan and frips :) wishing you guys speedy processing! What's the deal with this "unofficial auto-expedite"? Any chance it applies to the NVC process? :) Does anyone know how long the NVC process lasts nowadays? We are in the process of gathering the financial info now. I am hoping to go back to the US a few months before my husband, hopefully get a job and all that. We will have a co-sponsor, but I'm still going to go before. I'm just hoping we won't have to be separated for too long again. We did long distance for 6 years (!!!) so not looking forward to that again :(

we are in Sarajevo, frips, so cevapi is a regular occurrence ;)

our case went through CSC as well, so hopefully you will get expedited processing! and I read the other topic someone posted about filers from abroad, and it does say that the expedite only applies to the I-130. the NVC part is the same for everyone. i'm waiting for our NoA2 to arrive in the mail (should be soon, NoA1 took about 13 days), before I start calling the NVC.
