After arriving in the US on a IR1/CR1 visa you're supposed to receive the LPR Card (Green Card) within 90 days if you paid your immigrant fee. Is there any way to track the status of when USCIS produces the card? Or, when it is shipped through USPS do you get a tracking code?

Yes, it was completed the same day when I submitted the form within usvisascheduling. I was able to pick an interview date that same day. The first possible interview date was about 8 days later. If your pre-approval request wasn't approved I think you should inquire with the Frankfurt Consulate by sending them an email. As for the comment section you mentioned, I left that blank too. -

The actual pre-approval application took around two hours, and I completed it during Frankfurt business hours. I submitted the application on usvisascheduling as soon as the consulate contacted me to say they were ready to move forward with my case. It was exactly three weeks between the expedite approval and when they authorized me to start the pre-approval process. -
I am in the process of obtaining a CR1 visa. In the NVC phase, I paid all fees and submitted all documents. I then submitted an Expedite Request to the NVC (before being DQ), which they forwarded to the Frankfurt Consulate, and it was approved within a day on November 4. I believe the next step is to make an appointment through USTravelDocs. However, I have not heard back from the Frankfurt Consulate yet, so I don’t know if my documents were approved or when I can enter their system to schedule an interview. I also haven’t received the Interview Letter yet. Does anyone know when I can expect to hear back from the Frankfurt Consulate for an expedited case? And does anyone have insight on the timeline for an interview?

I believe the fast 33% are the people doing Adjustment of Status instead of Consular Processing. And the majority of the forms that are being skipped over (the last 25%) are likely the people who petition as an LPR and not as a US citizen. Also, this data only shows I-130s filed on paper, hence the #IOE09 for paper, and #IOE9 for digitally submitted forms. Even though we only can see the forms filed on paper, this is still very informative and the best data we have on an aggregate level to see where things stand as of right now.

I wanted to share an update on my expedite request. I didn’t hire a lawyer and instead submitted a new secure message through myUSCIS to request the expedite. This time, it passed the pre-screening, confirming that my request met the minimum criteria, and I was assigned a referral ID at the Potomac Service Center. However, it’s now been 18 days, and their initial response said they’d get back to me within 10 days. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? Is this a typical timeframe, or could it mean they’ve reviewed my request but didn’t find it urgent enough to even send a response? Also, I’m now 13 months into the process, and I’m expecting a decision around the 14-month mark. So, even if the expedite gets approved, it may not make much of a difference at this point.

Thank you for your detailed and helpful response! We've already taken the steps you mentioned, filing the I-129F (K3) one month after the I-130 and submitting additional evidence via myUSCIS last month (at the 11-month mark). I appreciate your lawyer's insights, they seem to be knowing what they are talking about. Would you be willing to share their contact information? At this point, I believe having an experienced professional review my Expedite Request is the best course of action. They might be able to identify any errors in my submission or advise if my reasoning for expediting aligns with USCIS guidelines.

You would need to upload it in myUSCIS under your case in the Documents tab. Scroll down to the bottom to Unsolicited Evidence and click Upload Evidence to upload your letter of explanation and the supporting evidence documents. In addition, you need to send them a secure message requesting the expedite, also in myUSCIS. Thank you for your responses. Although it wasn't the outcome I hoped for, I believe the most likely explanation is indeed that the request was denied. With a Priority Date of August 13th, my best estimate for approval would be sometime in October. I just wish USCIS would use more precise language in their communications...

Based on my understanding of USCIS's wording, the evidence is missing and therefore will not be provided to the officials responsible for reviewing expedite requests. That is different from a rejection. This is what the USCIS email states as well: "If at a later time you can provide the evidence needed to be considered for an expedite, we strongly suggest uploading a letter of explanation and any evidence you may have to support your request in your USCIS online account." and "Once the Expedite Service Request is submitted, it will then be forwarded to the office with jurisdiction over your case." Our Expedite Request concerns job loss, combined with a serious medical issue. The guidelines of USCIS specifically states "Job loss may be sufficient to establish severe financial loss for a person, depending on the individual circumstances." I've carefully put together all details and proof on our financial situation, proof of the layoff and proof of the medical situation which took me many hours. I know they have discretion and have a final say on whether they think it is severe enough in their eyes. But it is harder for me to accept if USCIS refuses even to look at the evidence I put together.

The issue is that they are not considering the Expedite Request at all. If USCIS would at least review it and then deny it, I would have a clear understanding of my situation.

I have been trying to submit our Expedite Request for our I-130 to USCIS for the past three weeks, but I've had no success. I used the secure message option in myUSCIS and uploaded a detailed request with all the necessary evidence. The request itself was clear and carefully put together: it is a single PDF with a cover letter, table of contents, detailed arguments, and a lot of evidence. However, after submitting the secure message twice and waiting 10 days each time, I received the same response from USCIS: "Unfortunately, your request will not be submitted because you do not currently have the required evidence to support the need for an expedite." I followed up with a live agent through Ask Emma, who confirmed that the evidence is in my account and correctly labeled. However, the agent couldn't explain why USCIS claimed the evidence was missing. This feels like a deliberate attempt to block people from submitting Expedite Requests or, at the very least, to make the process unnecessarily difficult. What should our next steps be? Should we try involving a Congressman or Senator, or submit the request again? Has this happened to anyone else here?
