You can request an expedite, yourself, if you have a valid reason.

In order to expedite your case, you must have a hardship reason to put your case before that of others. You may request an NVC expedite directly with the NVC public inquiry department at NVCexpedite@state.gov and be sure to include the following information in your request:

  1. List the NVC case number & invoice number in the subject line and in the body of the email.
  2. List NVC Expedite Request in the subject line and in the body of the email.
  3. List the beneficiary’s full name and date of birth in the body of the email.
  4. List the petitioner’s full name and date of birth in the body of the email.
  5. State why you want an expedite in the body of the email.
  6. List at least 2 phone numbers where the beneficiary may be contacted.
  7. Attach the i-130 approval notice and any other documents to support your expedite request:  a doctor’s letter, a psychological evaluation.

 

Requesting an expedite is free, but is not guaranteed.
