expedited case

[AAnil 4]

Can someone explain to me what does it mean to get an NVC email titled "case has been expedited due to child citizen act of 2000" ? Does that imply the NVC has expedited the case on behalf of the petitioner or does it mean that the petitioner is expected to raise an expedited request on the basis of "child less than a year from losing eligibility as per child citizen act of 2000" 

Since the email does not specifically tell to raise an expedited request, let's assume the NVC has done it for you. In that case, how long would it be before one can expect a visa appointment (at Mumbai)? 

Thanks.

FAQ: Child Citizenship Act of 2000

 

The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 contains two provisions that allow foreign-born, biological, and adopted children of U.S. citizens to acquire U.S. citizenship if they satisfy certain requirements before age 18. The Act applies to children who did not acquire U.S. citizenship at birth.

Thank you. I got that part. My question is related to the NVC email titled "case has been expedited due to child citizen act of 2000"  and what does it mean to the petitioner (a US citizen) having a documentarily approved case (at the NVC) for a child under 18?

since I got only one response, I guess I ought to try rephrasing my earlier question.

are there times when the NVC initiates an expedited request? i mean without the petitioner raising an expedited request. for example, let's say if the NVC determines that a beneficiary is soon to be 18 and might loose the benefit of the CCA act, does the NVC raise an expedited request for that case?

thanks.
