I didn't know if this belongs here or on the embassy/consulate subforum so feel free to move it if it's in the wrong place.

 

We submitted the rest of the paperwork for parents of US citizen sponsorship back in October and we got this email today:

 

Quote

The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General in MANAMA, BAHR 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 MANAMA, BAHR for their action. The Embassy/Consulate General will contact you soon to schedule a visa interview.

 

It's great news that the application is going to the embassy, but as far as I know, we have not requested expedited processing of the visa application. Is this something routine that might get sent? I'm asking because I don't want for there to be an issue during the interview indicating that we need to show proof of the reason to request expedited processing (since as far as I know we didn't request such a thing). Also, might this be indicative that the paperwork we submitted might be sufficient for the process? I know there are no guarantees for that, but we never received an RFE from the time everything was submitted until we got these emails. So I'm wondering if this means the paperwork is possibly enough for the interview to go smoothly without asking for more things barring any sudden changes.

 

I appreciate any insight anyone might have on this.
