I'm a school teacher from NY on a 2 year teaching contract in Morocco. This is my 2nd year here, and just got married in Morocco.

Currently both my husband and I work for the school and living together until my contract ends in June.

We just filed, and had someone take the package to the US. I had the person write 'filing from abroad' on the outside envelope, and indicated that in the paperwork as well with an attachment of current residence and my residence in NY.

It has been received in Chicago, and we got a receipt number.

From what I just read, I was wondering how will I know if we will get expedited?

As in life timing is everything, and I will most likely need to return to NY in July. They are currently holding my teaching position and I will need to return. Of course I plan for us to leave together.

Could this all really happen in 9 months or less?

Thanks for all your help!

We are new to all this!

***Post split into from thread that is not intended for general Q & A.***

**Moderator hat off**

You won't know if it enters the auto-expedite queue until and unless you receive a quick decision. Chicago is the intake facility, where all "filed from abroad" petitions go. It seems that petitions that go to CA end up being auto expedited, so if that is where your petition goes, then the odds are in your favor. However, regardless of where your petition ends up, there is no guarantee that it will be automatically expedited. Furthermore, USCIS also denies such a queue exists.

It took our petition from start to his interview approval in 9 months (November 2012 to August 2013) & his arrival on the 10th month (Sept 11, 2013).

We got our NOA2 in 4 months with no RFE. We got ONE checklist during the NVC part.

Good luck!
