Request Case expedite

[Maria MancerA 1]

I would like to know what are the main reasons I can expedite my case? My case is currently at NVC, (waiting for interview in cuidad Juárez). Got case completed June 28th 2019. I am trying to speed up our interview date , the wait is ridiculous 9 months!!! We have been with this process for almost 2 years 😭😭. I need my hubby with me ASAP.

According to the government website:

• Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner’s or applicant’s failure to:
  1. File the benefit request or the expedite request in a reasonable time frame, or
  2. Respond to any requests for additional evidence in a reasonably timely manner;
• Urgent humanitarian reasons;
• Compelling U.S. government interests (such as urgent cases for the Department of Defense or DHS, or other public safety or national security interests); or
• Clear USCIS error.

So is it nine month or 2 years?

 

Yours is IR-1, standard should be < 1 year. Unless yours is an upgrade from F2A to IR-1

 

Also case is completed, now its upto the embassy. You can reach out to embassy directly but you are gonna need same reasons as the person quoted for USCIS.

Wanting to get an interview before others in line is not a valid reason to expedite.  Save the time and energy and forget about the wait, eventually you'll get an interview.  Mexico is very backlogged right now so a 9 month wait for an interview is normal.  If expedites were granted because of couples wanting to be together sooner, everyone would request an expedite so it would continue to take 9 months because of the backlog.  Patience is your friend right now or you will drive yourselves crazy.  Lots of video calls, visits.  Good luck!

@saladboye we’re CR1  we got married December 16,2017. We will be 2 years married this December 2019 & waiting on interview. So im guessing our case will be IR1 after 2 years of marriage before interview correct?

Kinda! Your visa is based on the date of arrival. If you gave interview as CR1 and then arrived after your 2nd anniversary, it will be IR-1 automatically.

 

It is strange your process is that long. I am guessing your local embassy is severely backlogged.

@carmel34 yess you’re right. All we have to do is wait 🙏🏻 Thank you so much. 

@saladboye yes it is backlogged 😭 this sucks. It’s 9 to 12 months for an interview.

Cannot do much.

 

You could try a visitor visa (doubtful but no loss in trying except a few dollars) and get to have some time together or he moves to El Paso and you move across the border and visits can be frequent lol.

@saladboye good idea. 

 

Thanks anyways.

Juarez currently has a 9-month wait list for interviews.

You would need to ask for an expedite at NVC and at the consulate.

CR-1 vs IR-1 is determined by the length of the marriage at the time of entry into the US by the visa holder.
