am I doing this right?

[allyinchicago 8]

I'm trying to get my paper work expedited because we are going to have a baby in March (yay!) but i'm stressing about getting my paperwork done quicker, has anyone tried to expedite their i-130 and was approved? my husband is palestinian and when he was in US before he overstayed his visa by a year and a half, but went back on his own.

so, do you all this this might be a problem??

should I get the k-3 visa? has anyone done this? does it really go faster?

The K3 visa is not only not faster, it is not currently available. Yes, no matter what you read that says otherwise, K3 is dead.

Yes, the overstay will be a problem. The visa will be denied and a 10 year ban will be placed on your husband. You can then file a hardship waiver to try to get the ban waived. You've got lots of studying to do and are in for an uphill battle all the way.

An expedite for having a baby will not go through unless you had complication that required your husband to be there. And from the MENA's probably looking at some AP after interview. But you do have some tough times ahead as Pushbrk said. All the best to you.

so if he is really going to be banned, how soon would I get denied after sending in the I-130? and technically he left in Aug 2010, so 8 more years?

I said the visa would be denied, not the petition. Denial will come at interview.

Might want to shift your efforts over to www.immigrate2us.net They have many members with beneficiaries who have bans and are going through the waiver process.

Congrats on your pregnancy and good luck reuniting your family

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to Waivers forum; OP will eventually need to file a waiver.

As pushbrk says it will come at the interview, so unfortunately you will have to wait out the cr-1 process then get denied

Are you currently stateside or abroad with your husband?? If you are abroad you can try getting in the expedited queue, check out the following thread.

and also, www.immigrate2us.net has a ton of information, and yeah, you need to do a lot of studying. waivers are heavy duty, sometimes requiring a lawyer but many people do it by themselves. Also check out these links:
