Denial of the request to expedite. It doesn't affect the results of the application process.

Yeah but it benefits only those who have no sponsorship… look I and other bunch of folks still waiting for update. They are processing July 2023 cases, I am still waiting -January 2023 mine. Some folks from 2022 are still waiting too, unbelievable.

Did they request sponsor views for your case?

Nope nothing, weird. 

[lennikov 34]

The DOS does not request sponsor views if the case involves the health of the US citizen (i.e., US citizen receiving some life-saving therapy that can only be provided in the US and reasonably expected to not be available outside of the US), as even with the negative opinion of the sponsor, the case would still get a favorable recommendation based on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

How do you know this? Is there any reference to this in either USCIS or DOS manuals? If so, could you share a link?

I had the same question! I wonder if it applies to disability, my spouse is a disabled veteran.
