Request to Expedite

[peru1367 0]

Hi. Has anyone been to their interview for the I601a and had to submit additional evidence. Was wondering how long it takes being in administrative process before getting a decision and if there was a request to expedite how long did it take? I realize it probably depends on which consulate but was hoping to get a general idea. Husbands interview was in Lima, Peru.

I don't think waivers can be expedited....

Our lawyer said the consulate can use their own discretion as to whether to expedite or not. No form was filled out, just explained my mom passed away and I need my husband here. They requested additional papers that was received on 8/26. Hoping to get a decision soon. What they were asking for was something very minor. Our lawyer said we should hear something soon. Hope that's the case.

Regular I 601 is expedited if its a medical or life & death situation with strong proofs

Don't know about 601a, however any expedite needs strong reasons & proofs

The status on the ceac website hasn't changed since 8/31. Why is it not updating and what does this mean, if anything?

If he's in AP its a tall order IF its not his parent, but there is no

harm in trying, contact your congress-person, have a letter from

Dr who pronounced her dead, the funeral home & explanation

Did your atty send expedite request? even that can take some

time....my condolences to you & family. CEAC is not always

dependable

Yes our attorney did put a request to expedite. It was not his parent which I know makes a difference. Thank you for your condolences.

My husband was approved and received his visa on 8/15!! Our Congressman contacted the consulate and received a decision 2 days later. He is back in the US!!!
