Dear VJ Members,

I want to know what are the requirements needed to be able to expedite your I-130 visa for spouse application?

My I-130 file is now completed and ready for submission to USCIS probably before end of this month, but i want to know if the expediting request is applicable at this first level or at NVC only?

After submitting my file I-130 and recieve my NOA1 that all is ok, i am flying to Africa to stay with my husband until our case reaches NVC but i want to know who is eligible to apply for expediting case and who is not?

My husband lives in The Gambia with no war or problems which i could have used advantage of and apply but i still want to apply for expedite so i need advice on how to go by this especially points i could use to convince them approve our request?

Your respond is highly needed

Thank you all again.

What it's your reason for expedite? You pretty much need to be on your death bed to get an expedite from the USCIS.

I was wondering the same.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I am asking VJ members if you could read properly my text. I am asking to know who or who is not eligible and also what are the requirements needed before you can apply for a case expedite. I am sorry you don't understand my message but i also don't know that is why am asking but i know there most be requirements before you could qualify and those requirements are what i am asking to know from every VJ member who knows better than i do.

I hope this helps you.

If you don't meet any of the requirements in the guide then there is no cause to file for an expedite. If you have the luxury of being able to live with your spouse and can afford to do so then there is even less reason for them to hurry because you are not in need of fast reunification.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

you just have to understand that is sounds as if you are trying to jump ahead of others that have been waiting for months and months and in some cases more than a year to have their petition approved.

It sounds as if your only reason is because you don't want to enter the waiting process.......and by the way wartime conditions does not receive an approval for expedition.

Life death humanitarian reasons. Would be reasons fro expedite. many ask for expedite at USCIS level. Then you would have to ask for expedite at NVC level.

Unless its death or dying, deployment it would be remote at best. You can always ask. And provide evidence to the reasons why you feel you need an expedite.

here's the USCIS reasons to expedite.

You may need to check with VJ members about this, but I read somewhere that a failed expedite request (the vast majority) are put in the back of the queue. So unless it is an emergency, asking for "expedition? is that even the correct term?" could delay your visa petition. I read that hear on VJ.

It either makes no difference or not enough to worry about.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

no expedition is not the correct term.

asking for an expedite. Being, having been, am being, expedited would also work.

An expedition is a journey or trip of a particular purpose.
