IR-1 Expedite Request - Sydney

[danw1978 19]

Hey There, 

 

My husband (an American citizen) and I were recently advised by NVC that we had completed all the processes/payments and they would work with the Sydney Consulate to schedule an interview.

 

Since then we have submitted an expedite request about 7 days ago. Yesterday, NVC sent us an email confirming they had the request and would be reviewing it.

 

I'm keen to chat with others that have gone through a similar experience to understand:

 

1. How long it took for the Consulate to approve or deny the request?

 

2. If approved, how quickly it took for the interview to be scheduled?

 

Thank you in advance. 

 

Dan

Come join us here - a lot of us had expedites approved with Sydney.

 

For us, we submitted our request on June 11. it took 5 days for NVC to acknowledge, 6 for the consulate to approve, 2 weeks for the consulate to receive our case/schedule an interview. Our interview is August 18.

There's no real body template I can give you, except for just to type a compelling reason. If you'd like to type something up I can look it over for ya

 

If you’re wanting to file for an expedite, the email is NVCExpedite@state.gov, and we also put our case info at the start of the email.
