They are active military, and facing deployment.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

If you are looking for potential down sides to expediting..... you are in good company. I though of expediting due to certain circumstances myself but determined that on the grand scale of reasons to expedite, where did I stand i.e. was my reason considered genuine or was it one of the repeat issues. I decided to wait...... Im expecting my NOA2 any day now. Consider, ... Some adjudicator pulls your file to determine the validity of you app. He decides you dont deserve one.... He then decides to hold your app in a 'special' pile till he can return it.....or sets it aside waiting on your real date (and forgets it)..... I feel much safer leaving the file where it is and hoping it will be process on the traditional schedule. Theres nothing worse than the added anxiety of wondering how a denied expedition hurts your adjudication date!!!

Wel for what its worth I requested an expedite after I filed March 19. Was denied and still got NOA2 to my surprise in 3 months 1 week 4 days (102 days). They say you are put back in the order you were in. I have to believe them. Whats funny is you would think you request a expedite and submit evidence doesn't that mean your case is touched yet no update on the website. weird. Oh well. Now more waiting at NVC. Sorry hope you get what you need dear.

I don't think it hurts. Our expedite request was denied and we were approved before 5 months. Really hard to prove humanitarian reasons, by the way. But give it a shot :)
