Request to adjudicate existing i-130 to DCF in London?

[Kso1234 0]

I filed my husband's i-130 on June 2021 to USCIS online and is being processed by the Nebraska Service Center. I recently got a job offer that will require me to move the US urgently. I emailed the US Embassy in London to see if I can have my existing I-130 adjudicated for DCF in London. They told me to contact USCIS to ask to expedite my existing i-130 to London. My issue is that Nebraska Service Center is processing applications submitted on February. This means my existing i-130 will be reviewed in January 2022. 

 

According to this thread, it looks like I-130 applications for DCF in the London Embassy are being reviewed 12-13 weeks time. This is the same amount of time that my application would be reviewed in Nebraska Service Center.

 

My question is if anyone thinks it's worth trying to reach USCIS to ask to expedite my existing i-130 to London Embassy for DCF at this point based on similar processing approval time for the i-130 itself? I wasn't sure if it was speedier process with NVC & interview with DCF once you get your petition approved by the consulate. 

 

Any help and advice is appreciated. THANK YOU!

You,  the USC ,  can move anytime while the CR1 is processing 

 

USCIS may expedite a petition or application if it meets one (1) or more of the following criteria:

• Severe financial loss to a person;
• Emergency situation, i.e. the applicant is gravely ill;
• Humanitarian reasons, i.e. outbreak of war in the home country;
• USCIS error; or.
• Compelling US government interest.

The DCF is faster.  The 12-13 weeks at London is for the entire process, including I-130 approval, AOS, IV, interview and visa.  The 12-13 weeks at NSC is just for I-130 approval.

I doubt they will transfer it for DCF.

You request for expedite to the USCIS, then to NVC and then once again to the embassy to have the interview faster. Three levels of expedite request.

DCF is when you apply to the Consulate not expedite your existing I 130.

They can't just send it to London.   You could withdraw and try to file in London.   No guarantee that London will accept it. 

 

You need to ask USCIS to expedite, then ask the NVC to expedite.
