Hope you hear from them soon. Tom just told me was talking to a senior officer about our petition and the officer told him to call and see if he could get a expedite. We don't think we'll be allowed but it's worth seeing if we are.

Yes!!! You should defenitly try! I really hope you'll get your chance to be expedited! We're trying to get his commander to write a letter for him as well, we heard it doesn't hurt to get a letter from a higher rank...!

No there is no special forms to fill, the same as everyone else and there is no military priority either even I did back to back deployments to Iraq with a total of 30 months, they can't expedite my wife coming to USA unless I get orders again to go to Combat Zone. Heck while even bring my wife here if I won't be here in the states... is that make sense?

We don't know, that's why he's going to call the free number to see. No harm in trying.

my boyfriend is in army,we are waiting for our NOA1 from Vermont,,

I want to ask what are the requirements you submitted for expedite process of K1 coz he will be deploy to Iraq this 2009,,

Thank you

We requested for expedite as well since my SO is in Iraq but they didn't get back to us yet...so we will just try to send a fax this time and cross our fingers...my feeling is that VSC grants for military expedite faster and easier than CSC...of course we're at CSC...

Hey!!! Well we just got our expedite approved...we sent a fax with this documents: Cover letter, letter explaining the situation, letter from his CPT detaling his deployment (if u have them, deployment orders are fine), copy of his military I.D....and we got approved the day after...I gotta say we are CSC fillers thou so we were able to apply expedite just sending them the fax ( we called them but they never got back to us)....for VSC fillers u have to call military line first and wait for their email no matter what cuz they don't have expedite fax line anymore....Good Luck to u!

These are the Expedite Criteria

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The criteria are as follows:

Severe financial loss to company or individual

Extreme emergent situation

Humanitarian situation

Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States

Department of Defense of National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)

USCIS error

Compelling interest of USCIS

If your fiance is deployed or about to be deployed then you may qualify. They will not consider personnel who are working in the US or overseas long term. We didn't qualify even though Tom is in the Middle East as it was not classed as a deployment.

:thumbs: active military personal will go directly to top of list.he wont wait long for noa2

Yup. There is an unwritten rule about expediting cases of military personnel. All he has to do is request for an expedite form. :)

This is dead wrong and supremely misleading.

There IS a rule. It IS written but it applies to armed forces who have orders to deploy overseas. It also applies to the USCIS side, though if expedite is granted, it can be pushed through all the way to the Consulate.

If no deployment is imminent, there is no expediting of a case because one is active duty Military.

I totally agreed with Pushbrk...the fact that somebody is in the Military doesn't mean anything unless u are about to deploy or already deployed.

Agree with Pushbrk. Don't expect to get moved to the top of the heap unless you are being deployed.

Form is the same...

If he is being deployed he can then try to request expedited service....

The procedure is the same but once you get your orders or some kind of papers showing that you are going to be deployed, just write a letter to the USCIS explaining the same and fax or mail it to them asking for an expedite. Thats what we did except they lost our papers after expediting the approval en route to NVC but that happens rarely so you should be good to go. All the best :thumbs:
