So is there any kind of quota, or limit, based on the country one is sponsoring their finance?

I didn't think so...but my congressman's office seems to think otherwise...or perhaps they have decided to prioritize which cases it will inquire about and which they will not.

As far as I know, I always just thought those who're eligible get approved in whatever time frame there is at the moment. Whereas, those ineligible, don't. However, I may be wrong, maybe each country has their own specific rules and limits?

21st Feb 2013 - NOA1

I guess to clarify my question, I'm referring more to the USCIS application process than the later embassy one, but any information would be good.

Haiti seems to be the only country regularly expedited. Everyone else is processed by USCIS as a first-come-first-served (in theory) without country preference :)

I am the USC/petitioner.
