That seems like a valid enough reason for expedite. As far as im aware, deployment of any sort can result in an expedite, however it is in the country so not 100% sure. However, its worth trying it!

All signs point to no, as it is only for 1 month and in the country.

Expedite Criteria

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met. 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 or 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

You would be wasting your time. Expedites are granted for deployments outside the USA, not for temporary duty within the USA.

Sis, hate to bust a bubble, but being military, and trying to get it expedited due to deployment, it is not as easy as it would seem. They will require orders, and "training" is not a valid reason. They emphasize it being "deployment". The process of expedite is supposed to be reserved for those that will NOT be able to marry their fiance within the 90 days of entry into the US due to be out of country.

BUT, I do say this. It does not hurt to try. You can call and ask. The worst they can say is no, right? I am not trying to discourage anything, as I think we tried EVERYTHING (including now, my fiance is here on a B2 visa waiting on our interview).

Good luck and I hope that everything comes quickly and in your favor. We are headed to Phils in 3 weeks for interview.

all he can do is call the military helpline and see if the VSC will grant the expedite. Worst case scenerio they deny it, but you never know if he doesnt request. I'm sure if he needed to get a letter from his commander stating that he needs to focus on his job and training, he could do that. USCIS didnt ask for evidence of my deployment when I requested the expedite for my wife's case.

PM me if you need any info. Expediting wasnt near as involved as it seemed.

thank u scott, yes honey will call the military helpline we're just waiting for our 5th month mark.... maybe calling them will help atleast...

[Messybrownhair 251]

Yes I think you can!!

They expedited ours because of ranger school.. it was 3 months and within the US! Our reason was that he would be out of reach and unable to respond/receive mail or phone calls and emails..

BUT you need to send the training orders and have someone higher in command write the letter.. thats what we did
