London embassy -Expedite

[AKBarnes 1]

Hello

 

Our DQ date is Feb 17th. Spouse visa

 

I have recently turned down a contract ( My husband and I work for Carnival cruises) that means I have lost 8 months of US taxable income. My next offer for work is starting August 8th.

We have no idea whats going on with interviews in London at the moment. We thought we would make the June interviews that never happened 😩 

 

Do any of the forum experts know if with my proof of loss of income if this would qualify for expedite or is it not enough? It going to be a huge blow to loose more income

 

Any advice would be greatly received x

Why did you choose to turn that down?   I don’t think an expedite would be justified, because you made the choice to pass on potential income.

I had to turn it down because I will be porting out of the states for 8 months and wouldn't be able to leave to return to England for my medical/interview therefore delaying the process even further. By the previous batch of interviews released we are very close

It’s free to try to expedite.   I have never heard of a financial hardship expedite being granted because a person’s job conflicted with the immigrant visa interview.

If you still have the opportunity to accept the contract and it is for places like the Caribbean,  do it

those ships stop at several ports within a day or 2 of each stop

my stepdaughter was purser on both Carnival and Royal , and they often flew a cruise member back home (when they docked for an island stop)  for an emergency 

and seriously chances for an interview within this 8 months is slim with all the ones in line since 2020

Not an obvious expedite but no harm trying.

Hi everyone,

 

I wanted to say that our expedite request was approved on Friday 4th June. 

We were expecting to be in the May batch of interviews as we were DQ'd at the end of February 2021 but I guess this is promising considering they didn't release any last month.

 

Just wondered had anyone else recently heard anything about an expedite request they had filed?

 

For those of you who have been approved expedite previously, could you tell me how quickly you heard from London Embassy after NVC emailed to say it was approved? We keep checking our CEAC status but it still is saying "At NVC" after 3 days. I feel like based on what I've been reading, this is a long time? I am most likely wrong so please be kind haha. We have the "Case has been expedited to post" message in our message folder but that's about it. 

 

As always, thank you in advance.
