Good day all,

 

Has anyone experienced their progress jump from four months to 18?? I’m hoping it’s a glitch in the system, but I’m open for anybody’s comments.. does anybody have an idea on how we could go about maybe requesting an expedited review

Ignore that completely on your account, it's notoriously inaccurate. Go with the official processing times or the VJ timelines, and then be pleasantly surprised if it's any quicker.

 

If you have a genuine reason for an expedite (serious medical reasons etc), then you can find how to request that here - https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/expedite-requests

 

Good luck.

Do a search on I130 expedite approved here in the VJ search function, and you will find some.  YMMV.

 

Good Luck!

Good day all,

 

Has anyone here had any luck expediting the review of the 130? 


Lots have, what’s your reason for an expedite?

Medical reasons 


Then if you search VJ for that term with expedite you’ll find threads that would be useful. But you’ll need proof (medical records, doctors letter) to show the USC’s medical issue and why you need it expedited. And then if it’s granted you’d need to do the same at the NVC stage.
