what is the best reason to expedite I-129F ?

[Deagle 497]

Hello,

my wife is original American citizen ( did not get the citizenship by birth or marriage or neutralization) we met in December and got married in my country and we did honey money in Turkey and visited Dubai Together and she visited me 3 times in my country so far, my questions are :

1- we submitted I-130 and I-129F a month ago and we received NOA1 for both and waiting the approval, what is the best way or reasons to expedite the I-129F.

2- I am younger than my wife by like 8 years is this gonna be a problem ?

3- we have all the evidences and photos of us together from every time we met in my country and in our honey moon in Turkey and our trip to Dubai, can that help us more ?

thank you

Wait - you submitted both the I-130 AND the 1-129F?

They're different. Are you married or not?

If you're NOT legally married, then you can only submit the I-129F. If you ARE legally married, then you submit the I-130.

Don't really understand why you submitted both...?

Not a problem that you're younger, as long as you show a bonafide relationship.

Photos are secondary. To strengthen your evidence - proof of joint bills/accounts, stamps in your passports to show you were together in the same country at the same time, proof of joint households, etc.

yes we are legally married in my country and we have the court documents and everything is legal and official, we submitted the I-130 first and got the NOA1 and then we applied for the I-129F (K3) so we can wait the I-130 while we are there together and we recieved the I-129F NOA1 too like 20 days ago, and we have photos and hotel invoices with both our names and sure passport entry stamps.

OOOOO K3. I kept thinking K1 haha.

Expediting requests is usually if you can show that your spouse or fiance is experiencing tremendous hardships (i.e. the typhoons in the Philippines was a reason).

what about terror attacks in my country such as suicide car bombings most of the time and the american government has issued warning for US citizens not to visit my country due to terror attacks and such danger, would that help ?

Unfortunately your case doesn't sound too strong to qualify for an expedite. But give it a try anyway you have nothing to lose

what was your reasons to expedite your case ?

Military deployment

You can read USCIS' expedite criteria here: http://www.uscis.gov/forms/expedite-criteria

Since you are taking someone else's position in the queue ahead of you for yourself, it needs to be an amazing reason. General threats are not going to be a valid reason.

Why would you be fishing for reasons? If you are concerned about your safety and terror than you request for your reasons not someone else.

You want reasons, The petitioner is dying or the petitioner is being deployed like the other poster. Military always and rightly so will get priority.

There are car bombings all over this earth look at my Nigeria. But you can always request all they can say is no.

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

If there are weekly bombings at your front door and you can't move then yes that is a reason . If they are in other places than no way

Philippines are good for expedite and rightfully so

You use your own valid reasons that truthfully apply to you, to request expedite of any petition. However, there is never going to be any K3 visa in your future. With more reading here, you would have known that. The K3 visa has been virtually but not technically obsolete since February 1, 2010.

[Deagle 497]

oh, our lawyer told us to apply for I-129F so we can be together waiting for the I-130, and we already received the I-129F noa1, do u think it wont happen and be together before the I-130 ?

[pushbrk 12,277]

That's what I said. Your attorney is a few years behind on his study of the spouse immigration process. Not only is the K3 virtually not available for 3.5 years, but it stopped saving more than a few weeks time 4 years before that. Lawyers like to charge extra for filing that second petition though.
