Waiting for expedite results

[Lonny&Kris 16]

Is anyone else here still waiting on results of expedite request? I was asked to provide evidence for expedite request, and submitted evidence on March 2nd, and was told it was sent to an officer for review. I don't know what exactly they are reviewing, as it's pretty obvious to the entire world what is going on. I have recently reached out to my state senators office to inquire on my behalf which was done on Monday March 21st. I understand USCIS tends to take there time with things, but I honestly don't understand why it's taking so long for them to say either yes or no to expedite request. I don't want to sound entitled or impatient but it's been increasingly difficult as each day passes with no response. Anyways, sorry for the rant, just wanted to hear from any others if they are still waiting for results from their expedite requests, and if so how long.

On the same boat! Filled an expedite request on March 1st, approved March 2nd and no news since then. Not sure what to do as we are in Poland together but my 90 days here ends soon and don't want to leave my fiancee here by herself. We are thinking to get married & file i-130 in person but not sure whether it's going to be faster than waiting for expedited 129f..

I'm also in Poland with my fiance and have thought about getting married here as well. I have even been thinking about going to Mexico because I am starting to get desperate. I can't leave her here, but also won't be able to stay much longer. I'm glad you at least got approved for an expedite. I can't seem to understand why our case still hasn't been approved for an expedite. I think 23 days is plenty of time to decide whether or not to expedite. Anyways I'm wishing the best for the both of us, and everyone else 🙂

I filed expedite request on March 1st. And on March 2nd I received email that my expedite request was approved and I should hear back from them in within 45 days . Then on March 8, i happened to sign in to USCIS just to check the status , and my visa was approved on March 8! The few days later I received my NOA 2.. They send packet to NVC.. and in the letter it states to allow 2-4 weeks for NVC for processing.. Does anyone know it if literally take 2-4 weeks there , or longer ?

We got our expedite request approved. We didn't receive any email or mail about it? Just a case status update.

 

Also we have been trying to change the address and waiting USCIS officer to call us, as the online form is not accepting the address and the customer service has not been able to update the address either. We were told to submit I-865, which we did too, that form is not correct also it did not result the change of address. Super complicated. Now I am just thinking what if we are not able to update the petitioners address before NOA2? Anyone knows what happens if we don't get the hardcopy of NOA2?

After sending the expedite request to NVCExpidite@state.gov  instead of using the NVC query form I also got a response within 1 day saying that it is under review.  I assume this phrasing means that the case is in the queue in Frankfurt:

 

Your request for expedited processing of this immigrant visa petition is under review. We will send you the result when it is completed.

 Please note: Only the U.S. Embassy or Consulate can approve or deny expedite requests.

That is interesting that only the embassy can approve or deny the request. I wasn't aware.

[RnJ2021 59]

One day later:

The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in FRANKFURT, GER approved your request for expedited processing of your immigrant visa application. The National Visa Center sent your immigrant visa application to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in FRANKFURT, GER for their action. The Embassy/Consulate General will contact you soon to schedule a visa interview.

 

Wow! I lost 3 weeks by not using NVCExpedite@state.gov

I wonder if the fact Jenny is a refugee already in Frankfurt helped our timeline?
