How long have you been married? If over 2 years, then your can apply for IR for your wife and from the little I've seen on this forum, the process is faster than if you were newly married, but the process would still take months. 

What?   Length of marriage is 100% irrelevant..............

I wonder why us consulate included this as one of the reasons to expedite “    Short notice of position relocation: A U.S. Citizen petitioner, living and working abroad, who receives job relocation within the same company or subsidiary to the United States, or an offer of a new job in the United States with very little notice (employment letter is required)”

:( seems it’s hard to get approval for expediting cases

As it should be, imo.

Job offer may be reason for expediting request, however, acceptance of request is not guaranteed. 

 

:) I saw one VJ member said her expedite request for her husband got approved and her reason:  so her husband could attend his daughter's birthday party.  You will not know until you do it.

The last one, but 1 to 3 months is unrealistic.

I don’t expect the case to be done in 1-3 months. I was saying I’ll have to transfer to us office in 1-3minths.  I’ll be happy if they can expedite it and approve in 6months

So this is a potential move, not sure that would work.

That seems like your chance. Good luck

Everyone wants his/her case to be expedited...but the harsh truth is that the immigration process DEMANDS a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money.......good luck.

If expedites were easy, everyone would expedite, and then there would be no need for expedite at all. Hence why it is relatively difficult to get.

I am a If in doubt Expedite. sort of person, but you need a move date, sometime in the future is unlikely to hack it.

I’ll have a date when I’ll be transferring to US office. My employer said that I’ll be transferring soon and they will give me a notice to move to US 1 months before the move.

In a limited number of exceptional circumstances, USCIS may authorize the Department of State to adjudicate I-130 at a Consulate abroad only in certain emergency situations, including when:        

Some insight:

The USCIS Mexico City Field Office has jurisdiction for Canada. That Field Office Director is the one that gives the authorization (see page 3 of the 2nd link for the full process).

Thank you for the links, appreciate it.

People have tried and I believe successfully done DCF through Mexico for short notice job offers.
