The NVC just notified me that the US Embassy General has approved my expedite request. I've sent the AOS & IV package to the NVC already. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should do next? Here is part of the email...

"The U.S. Embassy/Consulate General has accepted this case for expedited processing. This file will be forwarded to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General when we finish our intake process and we do not have timeframe.

Please note that the U.S. Embassy or Consulate General may still request additional forms or fees at the time of your interview. Please be prepared to submit any missing forms and pay any required fees at the time of your interview."

Thank you in advance

Congrats! Nvc will forward the case to embassy along with whatever they have.It took almost 3 weeks for embassy to receive my case. The embassy will give you access to schedule appts and will send you list of what is needed for interview.

Thank you! How will I know? Do I need to call NVC or the embassy to check that they're sending it? Will it say something on the CEAC website? I'm so surprised that they accepted it, I'm all disoriented =).

I called nvc everyday lol but on ceac once its send to embassy it will say in transit you can then call nvc and get an exact ship date. And it took 3 days for embassy to receive. Once embassy receives it ceac will show ready. From there on you can call embassy for anything in reguard to case. You can track shipping on DHL site too. It work for me

Did you get any news about your file? Did it end up reaching the embassy yet? Im in the same situation i got the exact same email when my case was expedited 2 weeks ago but now they can't tell me what happens from here now that i have a case number. I have no idea whether to send papers to NVC or wait to see if my file gets shipped out to Sydney consulate

I'm also in the same situation but NVC says Embassy approved the request but told them to complete the case before sending it to them.

I ask the question; then, what's the point of expediting ? if it's still gonna take NVC the 60days to get Case Completed ?

congratulations,

may i ask for what reason did you get your case expedited? and how long did it take you to receive the expedition approval email?

we sent an expedition request too because my husband was diagnosed with seizure disorder, we attached to the email the doctor report, and we received an under review email 2 days ago, my husband and I are so nervous and so so in need for the expedition.

hi,

Can I ask you all how long did it take to get approved? I got an under review email 10 days ago and no news since then...

As of my understanding you have to call them else it takes longer to get anything in mail..however mine was approved but still had to submit docs and fees to NVC..and I think it won't be any faster

Hi guys, I'm sorry for not responding as I had no answer for you all. I was able to get my case expedited due to financial hardship. My husband lost his job in the DR and I, the USC, was having to help him financially and could no longer afford to. It was either daycare for my child or a roof over his head. Needless to say I've had to take out a loan for the time being but....

My case was expedited at NVC on Feb 11th. I just saw on the CEAC website that it was sent to Santo Domingo TODAY!!! I called NVC since Feb 11th once/twice a week and they told me that they didn't know a timeframe and that I had to wait for them to get all of the documents I sent together. I called this evening to confirm what I saw and she said that from here on out all calls need to be directed to the embassy!

Its been almost a year since I last saw my husband (physically that is). He hasn't met our 5 month old daughter yet. This is such a blessing, hopefully we'll be together soon!

Did you get any emails from the embassy or NVC Expedite?? We got our expedite granted on Feb 11th and it took them a little less than 30 days to get all of our documents together and send them out. Our documents were sent to the embassy on March 6th and they got to the embassy and I was able to schedule my husband's appts yesterday, March 11th!

It's crazy how this is such a long process but when things happen, they happen REALLY fast =), GOODLUCK!

well I got my case expedited! called today and nvc told me it was granted.. I have no idea whats next!
