has anyone requested an expedite because it has been more than the 30 business days?

is it possible

More than 30 business days to do what?

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.

No Expedites are only available at USCIS and usually for emergencies, or Military Deployment... not once you are at NVC or if the case is at the Embassy... as far as I know.

Here's what the Embassy in Bogota says

~ Jan ??,2013 ~ Service Center ~ Vermont I-129F Packet sent

NOTE: Actual sent date unknown due to lawyer negligence - I delivered ALLForms and PAID Lawyer on Nov 7, 2012 - Lawyer kept saying he sent the packet and USCIS must have lost it. When in reality he failed to send the package and only a new copy to USCIS after I made a legal written demand giving him 10 days to perform or return ALL monies paid to him, due to "non-performance".

(IMO it's better to save your money for visits to or from your Fiancé and just fill it out yourself using the K-1 Guide on VJ and Senior Members... They Rock!!!)

You can expedite at the NVC but you also need to have a valid reason to do so, just being outside the 30 business days isn't a valid reason. (Remember it's business days, do not count weekends or any US holidays.) If your spouse was in danger or in need of urgent medical care they couldn't get in their home country or the USC is deploying, then you could try for an expedite.

I'm so sorry Nataly that you have to wait and go through having a child on your own. I miscarried our first child and tried to get our case expedited through NVC via my congressman but they wouldn't help me because they said they can't intervene until it gets to the embassy. But I agree that you definitely should have gotten a case complete by now. My case was received on August 26th and we filled out the online DS 260 on I think around the 9th of September and got a case complete on the 19th.

August 4 2012: filed i130

December 5 2012: noa1

May 8:2013: noa2

June 3 2013: case received at NVC

August 26 2013: AOS package received at NVC

Sept 19 2013: case complete

October 1 2013: interview date received from NVC

Nov 26 2013: interview

DS260, isnt that electronic filing for Immigrant visa? Are you sure this is what they asked of you?

Can someone add to this if they have knowledge that Colombia is now doing E-file? I did this for my mother in law just a month back and I only sent the affidavit (new version) and the DS230 and had no problem (just RFE for affidavit, wrong income, easy fix).

have you called NVC? What do they tell you?

The only experience I have with having something supervisor reviewed was with my choice of agent, and that was done from one day to the next.

Not sure in your case. Wish you the best.

Every country now does online forms which is the DS-261 and DS-260.

You still have to send your documents to the NVC as electronic processing is not available for most of the world (8 countries can do it.)

Online forms and electronic processing is two different things. :) Hope that clears it up.
