Do I qualify to expedite?

[Joyude 0]

Hi guys, 

min new to this forum and immigration process in general, but I researched a lot on the topic of IR-1.

Hope I can get some clarification and help.

Here is my situation.

Im a US citizen living abroad with my wife (Canadian) and a daughter (Canadian/American). I worked as a subcontractor  for 4 years for one company, in January I became an employee of it. Now this company is opening an office in States and wants to transfer me with 1-3(max)months notice. I understand that sponsorship for my wife through USCIS will take at least 12 months. 

 

Can i I apply through us consulate to expedite the case? Was anyone successful in that kind of scenario?   

There is no DCF available. 

 

Thank you in advance

From USCIS website:

 

Quote

USCIS reviews all expedite requests on a case-by-case basis and requests are granted at the discretion of the office leadership. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met.

USCIS may expedite a petition or application if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

• Severe financial loss to company or person;
• Emergency situation;
• Humanitarian reasons;
• Nonprofit organization whose request is in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States;
• Department of Defense or national interest situation (These particular expedite requests must come from an official U.S. government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to the government.);
• USCIS error; or
• Compelling interest of USCIS.

Do any of those requirements apply to you?
