I remember a post here a few weeks ago where their senator's office informed them NVC was working overtime for the cases to speed up. If thats any reason for the CC time to from 11weeks to 9 weeks, I believe it'll only go down from here to 8.5 weeks and eventually 8 weeks.

 

I haven't dug up any data for proper comparison too see if the avg CC date a month or two ago was 10 or 11 weeks but it just gives me hope seeing one couple get CC in 8 weeks!

 

6 Weeks down, 2-4 more to go

I remember several February scan dates were getting their CC's at just under 11 weeks.. But nobody was collecting their scan dates on a spreadsheet.. so it's hard to know for sure if they're getting faster.  

 

Thank you for joining us on the new spreadsheet. Why did they reject your expedite request? What was your reasoning for an expedite? Can you provide that detail on your questionnaire. This will help others who are considering an expedite request.

Our child had a surgery coming up. We sent in expedite request so I could join the wife and the kid for surgery but it was turned down :| We sent in medical proof etc but its a mystery how it works. I've seen couples get expedited caz they want to spend the christmas together but this might vary from embassy to embassy. perhaps depending on how many cases they have to handle etc.

 

We gave up on expedite as we're almost there now anyway.

 

I've added expedite description to the spreadsheet now.

Yep that was me. I emailed him back and he confirmed they are working to get it down to 8. It seems like they are.

Wow, that's really surprising that they refused your request.. Thank you for the update and for adding it to the spreadsheet.

 

Almost there.. let's hope it's 8 weeks..

Well I just gave it a try but I started of by saying that i was requesting an expedite due to the long wait time that exceeded 6 months during the uscis stage. Then i mentioned that based on my calculation my husband interview will be schedule around september making it impossible for me to travel.
