No expedite, got biometrics appointment and interview appointment surprisingly fast. Must be the office. Also: No reason to be nervous. Officer was really nice and told us that because of our approved K1 petition that our case is an easy case. Officer told me right after the interview that we are approved but that she has to do something before she can approve it officially. |

Timeline Comments: 3I have the same timeline 2019-11-26 and NOA 2019-12-03 let's see with this coronavirus situation. hoping we both get as soon as possible.
Hi, did you expedite your case by chance? If so, what were your reasons (if you don't mind me asking)?
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
