Oh I see. Well I'm sure you're almost there! So no matter how long the processing of my waiver, I wouldn't need to start all over with my whole petition? Maybe they'll just ask for an updated documents then right? I really hope we'll get some answers real soon! 

Yes, you do not have to start all over again and yes if any document is needed you will be notified.

 You don't need to pay for an expedite. Mine was completely free and informal. My lawyer old me it was a waste of time so I did it myself.

My reason : that my employment was ending I wanted my husband here to help pay the bills. That's it. 

We filed I601 waiver end of Aug. Expedite approved mid Oct. Husband entered U.S. January 18th.

Nice, very lucky you had that extreme hardship coming up at the right time.

When i was unemployed about 2yrs ago we haven't gotten to the waiver filing stage but now I have a job and no major financial issues or major medical issues was the response i got from USCIS the two times i tried this year to expedite the process.

Well, in about 1 to 3 months i should have the approval notice in the mail and the long wait will be over.

I dont understand why mine was denied. I sent in letters from my doctor saying i will have a cesarean march 15 i have 2 other children age 2 and 8 who i dont have anyone to take care of them. And i also sent a letter from my psychiatrist on the letter she tells that i am at a greater risk of having postpartum depression since i have and treat anxiety and depression. But they didnt care. I thought about trying again with also financial hardship because since i dont work the only money i get is the amount my husband sends to me monthly from Brasil which hardly covers bills. Things are getting tough because brasilian currency is 3 to one american dolar. I dont know how i will survive with 2 children and a baby on the way without depending on the government.

You can try again......

 

This time add  these documents if you have them and hopefully it helps......

-Updated doctors notes of your past and current medical issues.

-Unemployment documents from unemployment office

-Eviction notices

-collection notices 

-Other paperwork to show that your USC children are suffering due to their father not been here in the US (Medical and Financial)

 

A USCIS employee told one of a similar situation like yours and only got expedited approval after proving she was loosing her apartment and car due to financial hardship and if spouse is not allowed to come help she will be on the streets with her USC children homeless.

 

Wish you good luck.

Do you think me reasoning out that our son who's a USC is living here in the Philippines with me right now because he's only 2 and I can't really let him just go to the US without me because one, my husband can't take care of him by himself because he works, and 2, I'm the mother, like my son basically needs me. And with that being said, our son is basically living his first 2 years without knowing his father due to all this.  Do u think that will make an approval for an expedite? Thanks!

So i tried again this time i sent in plenty of evidence of financial hardship even an eviction notice and was denied once again. I don't think there is nothing else I can do then try to survive and wait for the proceeding times.

Yeah it is all case by case basis and when lawyers send these documents in they know what to write in the statements that goes with these documents and what laws to quote and all to get it approved.

But me and you off the streets do not know those terms and all, that is why some of us keeps getting denied.

Also it is discretionary too by the officer involved, they may be having a bad day the day they checked our expeditious applications and so on.....

 

Good luck the wait will be over before you know it.

I checked the uscis website. Their priority date now is on December 2016 as of January 31st. Isn't yours December?? 

Yes it updated to December 16, 2016 but mine is 29th...... But some people who submitted in November 2016 have still not gotten a response too and there is also another VJ member how has been waiting for a response now for 1yr and 6months.... So i think the dates just show where they at on the submissions but not all who submitted on those dates will get a reply until they are done with that persons particular application.
