What kind of expedite and why?  Which stage of the process are you at?

There are only a few very well defined reasons to expedite; some are auto-granted (such as impending military deployment), others are very difficult (such as medical or financial reasons).

One more question for you shellsbells, regarding the police certificate do you have to wait for the letter appointment to request it?

Good morning,

 

It was approved July 7th. My husband said the police department said he has to bring the interview letter once we receive it to them to request the report.  Be ready to pay...It is 150.00 to have it in 2 weeks!

 

Please keep me updated on your process as I will you mine.
