Hey just an update for anyone who is looking for info, we are EB3 and we (the petitioner) reached out to their local congressman's office who reached out to NVC and the Embassy on our behalf. The NVC confirmed that they only approve expedites for life and death situations or the welfare of a child which is helpful for anyone considering that route. The embassy confirmed that for EB3 (our category), they are currently working on cases that DQ''ed in May 2022. We DQ'ed in early Sept 2022 so hopefully that may help some of you get an idea of where they are in their back log. Good luck everyone
