Hi All,

 

What does Expedite Request Denied mean? I called this morning and got an email within an hour for I-129F.

 

Also, found out my I-130 got transferred to Potomac back in November.

Did you receive a notice about the transfer?

Yes. Today at 9AM.

Then the expedite denied means they are not going to give you expedite

Thats just crazy! The rep said I have to provide evidence and within 5 days I’ll get a follow up call. Instead, I get an email for expedite denial. How did they know my reason before getting anything from me?

Yeah but that happened back in November. The USCIS myaccount doesn’t mention it, says In Process and the case status website says “case received”.

It seems weird to me. Possible that it could be a mistake? I would try calling them after the new year to see what’s up with that

Yeah, that’s true 🤣 Though still weird they would deny the expedite the day it was requested without getting or looking at the evidence first

Hi everyone, 

 

Checking in. I'm filing I-130 & I-129f for my wife. I'll add the info my signature later but here's the timeline:

 

I-130 Submitted Nov 6, 2019, NOA1: Nov 12

I-129F Submitted Dec 16, 2019, NOA1: not received yet but called USCIS and got the receipt number and added case to USCIS account, it's also being processed in Nebraska

 

I also had tried an expedite request for humanitarian reasons (civil unrest here in Chile) and it was denied within an hour or so. I'm thinking that the USCIS usually denies expedite requests by default. I'm currently in touch with my Congresswoman trying to get her to help us out with an expedite request.

 

Supposedly the I-129F visa should be adjudicated about 6 months quicker than the I-130 but we're still talking about 9 more months once all's said and done, such a slow process. I'm really hoping to be able to get an expedite request approved.

USCIS Stage:

  • Nov 12 2019: NOA1 (NSC)
  • Dec 17 2019: I-129f Received
  • May 15 2020: I-130 Approved!

NVC Stage:

  • May 16 2020: Case Created
  • May 16 2020: Fees Paid
  • May 22 2020: Sent IV & AOS Packages
  • May 29 2020: Request for more documents (proof of assets)
  • May 30 2020: Resubmitted NVC documents
  • June 15, 2020: DQ'd!
