Anyone know how expedited processes works? For ex. If my wife is pregnant can we file for an expedited visa so our child can be born in USA?

What are the approval rates for pregnancy cases?

Thanks

Ther are tons of threads about expeditiing. Unfortunately, Childbirth is not a reason to expedite.

I'm not assuming anything I just share information about something I know, but you are the one assuming the all undocumented people have hundreds of kids and don't pay taxes and that is not true.

But I am really tired of reading about all the insults you give to people without documents, I was here to share experiences with other people in MY situation waiting for NOA2 not to trash others persons.

That's interesting you would reply like that . I only asked you a question. Yes or no would have worked too.

It seems to me there are lots of people lving under a rock or in a perfect little bubble. I never said it doesn't happen..... I said there was a very small percentage. You don't live in my town and you don't know the people I know. rofl.gif So I stand by my stmt.... It is accurate

In the United States we are allowed to have our own opinions...( yes or no?) In reality, undocumented is just a nice way of saying illegal. And that is my OPINION. You shouldn't take my comments personally. Pass over my comments if you don't like them. I'm not the only one who shares the same opinion....so chill

Incase you haven't read the news lately, Illegal immigration is a huge HUGE problem in the US. goto NUMBERSUSA.COM. Take off your rose colored glasses, it'll be easier to read.oops8rh.gif

Different atmosphere's bring different thoughts.. I'm in construction so the amount of illegals is high.. Yes illegals and they call themselves that also!! I have sat at the construction office and watch one guy come in and apply for job and use a SS card.. Then another guy come in 5 minutes later with the same SS card!! Basically to get a job you need a SS card but because of privacy laws the employer can not check to see if it is valid.. (At least that is what the companies always tell me).. Another example I was on a project and I notice a guy was missing.. I inquired where he was at and was told he was deported.. They caught him drinking and driving.. A week later he was back working on another project.. Sooo if everyone can tell me this is acceptable and there should be no consenquence for illegal immigrants then why are we waiting on immigration?!? Just sneak your spouse here right now!! Trust me it has crossed my mind.. But I know it's wrong and believe that things should be done lawfully.. That's why I wait.. Knowing others don't care what is wrong or right and they benifit from it while I wait.. Yeah it makes my blood boil!

Finished for now!!

Considering the fact that nothing really has been going on as far as i-130 is concerned, few days of shut down wouldn't be a such a big deal. devil.gif

its not the USCIS part I'm worried about, its the NVC and the embassy where you do your interviews. They will shut down which creates more backlog. They wouldn't be issuing any type of Visas... which would create a back log of interviews. NVC would go from 8 weeks to 16 weeks. SUCH a bummer

Well I pretty much gave on any chance that my wife would be coming in the next 6-8 months. I probably aged by an year in the last 3 months since I filed i-130.
