We have also received an e-mail from NVC stating our expedite request (even though we didn't do a request?) has been approved by USEM. I checked the CEAC state site and it has changed to "In Transit". My step daughter IR2 who was expedited back in June 23 due to aging out. Has already had her interview and was issued a 221g telling her to send her passport in once her mother is approved, and she would receive a visa stamp, is also very excited. She has been waiting to redo her medical as it expired while waiting on my wife to receive an IL. all in all we are glad to see everyone moving forward in this process. it's been a long wait.
