I just want to clear things for me. So my fiancé filed our k1 on October 10 and noa1 is October 12. We tried to expedite it because I'm pregnant, we tried it though we know its not a reason to speed the process. We didn't receive anything about our request so we assume its not honored.

My fiancé called them January and asked how's our request doing. The uscis representative told us that they emailed my fiancé last october too for further evidence about our expedite request, but we didn't receive anything. So my fiancé mailed them the evidence a few days after that. And yes, it is not honored.

So my question is, am I restarting my waiting time back from January? Are they trying to annoy us?? I'm so depressed that a lot of CSC filers are approved now and there's no sign that they are touching our papers.

My fiancé didn't call them, he thinks that it's useless for they only keeps on saying that wait more and more.

After pushing him, he finally asked help from a representative and all we got is its still waiting to be adjudicated, wait for 45 more days.

I'm so lost, my fiancé will be here next week for my delivery, but no sign that we can go back with him

:(

You are not re-starting your case. You will still be processed as an October filer since the expedite request has already been denied.

No pregnancy is not a valid request to be expedited, i was in the same situation so i know it sucks. But then again, if it was everyone would just get pregnant and get in the country faster!

What you should do now is gather all the paper work so you can report your child's birth abroad and get his/hers American passport!

And don't worry, your time will come!

Well I guess they're making the waiting harder for us, receipt numbers before and after us are approved.

Thanks.

Hang in there! There are still quite a bit from August still waiting and it seems CSC has jumped to Nov, Dec, and Jan. I'm an August filer in RFE now, it will be worth the wait!

We know its not valid, but we still tried.

We're just waiting for my delivery so everything that needs our baby's bday will all be ready.

This is so heart breaking.

Thanks.

hey! youre about to give birth. :)

dont stress. this might be a blessing in disguise. who knows...

like what the other post said, gather the docs you need for your baby's crba. also while we're on the topic... work on some PI passport docs too. shouldnt be difficult.

try checking with the local municipality what are the steps for an expedited nso reporting (for the birth certifficate).

good luck and congratulations!!!

 So when you sent your request in your petition was at desk A . They stopped your petition to look at your request, all the other petitions continued on. They looked and your file and denied to expediat your petition and returned it to desk A,  The rest of the petitions you were with are at C but you are now at A still. This is the penalty for filing a expediate that doesn't meet the criteria.

I think this is true.

Actually this is not true, I tried to expedite my own petition as my finances resident visa for the country he is currently living in expires this month. My file was not expedited, as and you can see it has absolutely no negative impact on my processing time.

To the op, no the request did not slow down your processing, csc has just had a somewhat screwed up processing order.

This is biggest blessing ever.

Thank you :)

See my post above, it is not true at all.

There are reasons for everything.

And this is also one of the reasons for "change" with USCIS.

However, just think about it, a blessing is coming your way...

you will give birth anytime soon.

Don't let this stresses you.

It's not good for u and the baby.

Have a safe delivery and Happy mother's day!rose.gif

Dont worry! you are almost there now! you are likely to get your NOA2 any day now. Mine took 7 months to receive. After recieving your NOA2, things move really fast! Make sure you have all the forms you need for after your petition gets sent your embassy. Prepare these now and fill them in pencil (so that you have everything ready and can alter anything if it changes before you receive instructions from your embassy after approval.) get supporting documents ready (your fiance`s letter from employer or work authorization,( for proof of current employer), tax transcripts, bank deposits/ recent pay stubs(also collect most recent ones..after you receive NOA2).

Here is a list of things i prepared:

* The Notice of Approval from USCIS (he needs to mail you this after he receives it (the original).. make sure he photocopies it first so he has a copy of it.
* U.S. fiance`s 3 or 4 recent bank statements
* Copy of U.S fiance`s bank account deposits (for proof of wages paid in from employer)
* 2012, 2011 and 2010 tax info (W2`s and tax Transcripts.. you can order the tax transcripts on IRS website)
*Proof of U.S. address.. e.g. - Copy of your tenancy agreement and letter from landlady stating how long he has been renting from her.
* 2 or 3 letters of official mail sent to U.S. address (For proof of residence there)... this can be any official letters, e.g. bank statements, bills etc.)
Hope this helps you!
Its good to start preparing as much as possible, so that it moves along faster once your approval arrives (very soon now!)
As this will cut all the waiting around out. And everything gets processed fast after your NOA2!
