hi,

Im filling out my forms now and i got a question, cos my husband is the USC and he is living abroad with me.

How can we get our case expedited? I thought it wouldnt be able but maybe we can. We are planning to send it to his father and he would sent it to Chicago, but should we put in the forms his address in Brazil or his address in the U.S? We put his address in the U.S cos he is not legal in Brazil anymore, he's visa already expired but still can we put in the envelop that we are sending from abroad and get it expedited?

Thx for helping me =)

I'd encourage you to read through this topic to gain a better understanding of this issue.

I can't comment on how you should handle it if your husband is out of status in Brazil...For what it's worth, in this process, I have not been asked to prove that I am in Kuwait legally (yet). Maybe someone else would have a better answer - I'd encourage you to start your own topic so you might get a better answer.

Good luck!

Congrats on getting into the 'filed from abroad' queue and that 'auto-expedite' kicking in. Sweet,no?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Let me know what happens because I'm trying to decide which address to put on our I-130 too. Mail here is so awful that if they sent anything to our address here in Costa Rica it'd be lost. So I was considering writing my mom's USA address and writing "FILED FROM ABROAD" and hoping to get in the expedited stack. So please let me know how yours turns out!

if you study her timeline, you can see exactly what happened.

That's the ONLY reason I posted back to her, as I studied her timeline.

If you are logged in from a pc or laptop, click 'timeline' under her name - that'll jump you to HER timeline.

Good luck !
