Question on Expediting Haitian Relative Applications!

[PAPUNMANMU 4]

I got my NOE 1 in the mail on the 4/25/2011 a week after i sent it. I'm just waiting for the day i will get that e-mail that we've been approved sad thing is, I've been doing a lot of research on Haiti because that's where my husband is and on the site below and it states how we are suppose to get expedited but the Rep when i called asked me to request an Expedite I don't understand that. Does anyone knows more about this situation and if they are expediting our applications or not? can i please get some type of response i am trying to learn how to be patient. the link is below and they updated last month March 2011. thanks everyone!

Wow chill on the font. I don't believe Haiti is considered an area of imminent danger so I dount they are still processing expediates based on the earth quake. Life there is rough but no worse than many other countries and not abnormal to the countries standards.

Thanks for reply, I've read many other negative posts that didn't start on this topic but because of jealousy ended up hating! I don't know how knowledgable you are on the situation in my country But I've been there I lost 12 members of my family because of the Quake as I am writing this response there still thousands who are dying because of the cholera. SO DON'T TELL ME LIFE IS ROUGH THERE NO WORST THEN OTHER COUNTRIES DON'T COMPARE IF YOU LACK KNOWLEDGE FOR YOUR COMPARISON! I DID NOT START THIS FORUM FOR PEOPLE TO START THEIR HATRED TRUST ME IT WON'T BE ALLOWED HERE. IF YOU READ THE QUESTIONS RIGHT IT ASKED IF ANYONE HAS KNOWLEDGE ON THE MATTER WELL YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T THANK YOU FOR READING. NEXT!

The people that process expedites will look to see if there is a CURRENT sisuation there ( no the quake is old news ) and if there is any emergrancy that would meet the requirements for expediate. Even people from countries there there are active wars can't expediate if the war isn't literly at their doorstep. You can try ,everyone is free to apply,but there doesn't seem to be anything in Haiti at the moment the meets the usually requirements for expedition.

She was trying to HELP you, but with these comments I doubt others will attempt. As stated, there is no longer any expedition being done due to cholera and earthquake issues.

If you look at the immigration timeline for Haiti for the IR-1/CR1, the last two cases (the only ones that are recent) received their NOA2 in 1-2 months. Of course this doesn't tell you for sure if your case will be expedited, but at least there is hope. Also, if you look at the K1s there have been a number recently that have received their NOA2 quickly compared to normal processing time (especially those who have gone through CSC). I know it's stressful when you can't be with your husband and the situation in Haiti isn't great, but hang in there and one day you can look back at this like it was just a bad dream!

You should read about the rules of netiquette and start applying them. Se moun tankouw ki fe yo pale ayisien mal.

THIS IS THE SAME INFO THAT IS POSTED ON THE LINK ON MY MAIN POST. I WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE ON VJ KNEW MORE ABOUT THIS, IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY DOING IT OR NOT, BUT SOME PEOPLE HAD THEIR PERSONAL OPINIONS ON THE SUBJECT AND WANTED TO START CATTY FIGHTS. NEVERTHELESS, THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS UP NOW PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT I WASN'T JUST PULLING THIS SOMEWHERE, THAT IT ACTUALLY EXIST. THANK YOU

First, it is a violation of the Terms of Service for Visa Journey to make personal attacks on other members and to use inflammatory language meant to incite a negative response. Two posts have been removed - one for violating TOS and the other quoting the TOS violating comments). The acceptable part of the second removed post is returned to the thread below.

Second, we request that English only be used outside of the Regional Forums. The information here needs to be accessible and useful to all of our members and English is the language the majority have in common as well as being the official language of the US and this is a US immigration site. Please restrict the use of non-English to the Regional forums and PMs. Thank you.

Writing in all caps is considered yelling, why would you ask people for information by yelling at them? A little word of advice “You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”. The nicer you are the more you will get in life. FYI netiquette is an actual word it is not spelled wrong,as for my creole I'm very proud of it.lol
