I filed an expedite request for my Ukrainian wife and daughter on 2/24/21. Both I-130's were originally filed 4/27/2021.

 

Wife TSC actively reviewing 12/10/2021

Daughter PSC actively reviewing 9/10/2021.

 

My wife's expedite was granted 3/4/22 and her I-130 approval occurred the same day.

 

My daughter's expedite was outside the 7 business day window so on 3/16/2022 I uploaded my wife's NOA2 and the emailed notice of the expedite approval. My thought was that since the expedites were exactly the same (humanitarian: war, cannot work) that Potomac might tend to approve if they saw that Texas approved.

 

When I logged on to USCIS 3/16/2022, I found my daughter's NOA2 in the documents tab.  I have not seen an email regarding a decision on the expedite as of yet.

 

Was this a coincidence that the NOA2 came on the same day as I uploaded additional documents, or did the upload prompt someone to look at the file? I have no idea, and don't really care, but I thought this information might be useful to others so here it is.

 

Good luck, I'm off to the NVC,
