I spoke to one of the agent today, and told me because of my expedite request denial, it may affect my approval processing time. My heart broke. -SC Potomac -PD July 25 2019

Not sure why they said that, it shouldn’t affect your process time. Your petition should be processed as normal, it never hurts to try to expedite

What!? that's crazy! a denied expedite request shouldn't have any affect on your processing times! I would take that comment with a grain of salt. Your approval will be here soon 🤞

Np.... although with all these transfers and new ways they’re processing everything who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ But traditionally that’s how it worked. I hope you get good news from it 👍🏻

Hi S&J, I did some research after your reply and I thought I'd share. You're totally right. USCIS website says " When you call to request expedited processing, the USCIS Contact Center creates and forwards a service request to the office with jurisdiction over your application or petition." 

 

My "date" changed only once back in September of 2019. Reading these comments about IOE numbers, it seems that may have been the transfer date. But when I chatted with a rep on Emma they told me it was in Nebraska? 🤷‍♀️ What a mess. 

 

Anyways, thought I'd share in case it helps anyone else.

Yeah, the ones I've found are just from going through the other month filing threads to be honest, haha. There's only been a couple.

 

Hello and good luck!! Hopefully Nebraska won't be too hellish for you with an IOE. Can only cross our fingers.

 

 

This is exactly what I've heard too, yup. Someone got this e-mail:

 

"Based on your USCIS receipt number, your case benefited from a pilot electronic process for the I-130 petition. USCIS reviewed and approved your petition faster than average cases of this type as we develop the fully electronic transfer of data from USCIS to the Department of State.  We thank you for your patience while we continue to refine our process with these electronic petitions"

 

Having said that, it seems like everyone in July got IOE receipt numbers, so maybe they've fully moved it over? Not sure. Did anyone file in July and not get an IOE number? Just curious!

I feel you. I have an IOE number, sent my package on AUG 2019 and my date just changed in sept 2019 and btw emma and myuscis says I'm still in Nebraska so... Who knows, I still think everyones cases are gonna speed up.

Potomac has been on July since December, yeesh. So at this rate, I am expecting that we'll need 2019 tax documents for NVC but I don't think we'll have transcripts in time. My husband isn't able to file until close to the deadline since his accountant is swamped. Does anyone know if NVC will accept the three previous years and a letter explaining 2019 will be brought to consulate? (We're doing 3 years because he's self-employed and it's not as straight forward as bringing W-2s.)

Just noticed my date has changed to 11th March (NOA1 date July 18th, Potomac). Hoping this means someone has touched it and it's not a transfer, hahaha.
