Expedite for pregnant

You have just proved my point. The USCIS does not perform a background check on the beneficiary in a CR-1 case. The only information the USCIS has about the beneficiary in an official format is what is on the marriage certificate. They do not see the passport or birth certificate of the beneficiary. They have no information on the background of that person and no way of finding anything about that person.

This is all done at the NVC when the beneficiary sends their passport copy, police certificate and completes the DS-260 which asks for previous addresses. I find it highly improbable that someone would go from NOA1 to interview without going through the NVC on a CR-1 case. As you have also said, the foreign spouse won't be interviewed until the checks are completed by the NVC. But you seem to think that the original poster of this thread has got through to interview stage WITHOUT touching the NVC.

Hmm, interesting! You have a valid point and you would think it would have to be expedited through the NVC Level and not interview stage.

My wife was 5 months pregnant at the interview for her K1 visa. No expedite was granted and no waver for the chest x-ray. I am just happy she was approved and could have the baby in the US because all the paperwork required to get the baby home sucks. My Brother in law had to deal with that. Not a good experience at all. One positive note is the medical costs to delver a baby in the Philippines is much lower.

Good luck and God Bless.

Doesn't Philippines have auto expedite anyways? Doesn't that get you through quicker than everyone else?

Pretty much.

This actually makes me angry. I'm happy for OP, but angry that the rest of the people who submitted petitions before her were pushed back because of her request. And based off the posts and approvals recently on VJ is does appear Philippines beneficiaries are being processed faster.

That just makes me PO'd. Politics is BS in this. I know true expedies exists, but I don't see this being fair to all the other US citizens who are pregnant and not have their spouse there. And yes, I'll say it for the US Citizen because that is the focus of consideration for USCIS.

Meh, perhaps getting pregnant and then file expedite may get my husband here quicker. I know any pregnancy I have would be high risk.....

So many of us waiting patiently (at least trying) and this just is a punch in the gut showing all of us that following the legal process is worthless.

End rant. Meh back to waiting and hoping for some action on my form within 3 months instead of 5 months from now.

I'm still incredibly sceptical of it all

Me too. But can only go off what is here. Either way is frustrating.

At least I made it a month without actually getting frustrated. I think I'll go back to avoid reading posts. Less chance of frustration right now. I enjoy VJ, and with all the help it has provided for me in preparing my I130, I wanted to give back to the community. Perhaps when I'm further down the line.

The granting of an expedite was probably due to the fact that they resided in an area of the Philippines that was severely affected by a storm and not because of pregnancy (auto expedites have been happening for that reason in regards to Philippines cases).
