Expedite question I-601

[vikaare 0]

Hello everyone. I was curious if anyone has any experience to share regarding an expedite request for I-601

I recently found out I’m 

pregnany, and I have a doctors letter stating that it’s a high risk pregnancy. I’m also being laid off of my job in September. And I have a letter from HR confirming that. 

 

I submitted an expedite request on Friday July 27. On Monday July 30, I got an email stating: we are still reviewing your case and there are no updates at this time. 

 

Does anyone have anything to share regarding this email? Does it mean it’s actually being reviewed or is likely a denial?

how long do they usually take to respond?

 

also, has anyone had any luck getting a case expedited due to a high risk pregnancy?

 

thank you

Hi,

I (with my lawyer) submitted a written expedited request with my I-601 because my husband (the US citizen) was having surgery and some other medical issues came up. I received a notice that they recieved my packet/request but I never heard back regarding the expedited. I had been told if they are going to expedite my waiver I would get an approval notice if they do not approve the expedite they say nothing.  I left it at that and given my waiver just went through is 15 months I'd say my request wasn't approved lol

 

Now if you're the US citizen I hope with your situation you stand a better chance at success but if this is your waiver, you're outside of the US and your husband is the US citizen I would let the 15/20 or so business days pass before calling them to find out if they have approved your expedited request. 

 

It's a stressful endeavor let alone in your situation but you tried and now it's up to them - hard to accept I know. 

 

Best of luck and keep us posted  :  )

Thank you. Yes I am a US citizen and my husband is in Mexico.

My waiver was approved - it took just over 15 months but I've been in canada longer, I started the whole process from here. 

 

 

With you being the citizen I would hope you hear something soon about the expedite. 

 

Again, best to you!

I am also a Canadian citizen and will most likely need a I-212 waiver.. how long did you process take? why did you need a 212, if you don't mind me asking

I 212 solo is a different process and there is not standard time.
