Why is my expedite taking so long?????

[stefiec89 0]

I had my expedite request approved before I got a case number in mid January. I just received my case number on feb 19 and they still haven't sent it out. Is anyone else in the same situation?? At first I was given different stories that I shouldn't pay or send anything and then another rep told me the opposite. I went ahead filled out the choice of agent and paid my AOS bill and 9 days later it's still processing. 2 weeks ago I received an email that the file was being sent immediately but still is sitting at NVC. I'm so frustrated right now can anyone shed some light on what I should do or why it might be taking so long. thanks guys

Yes I am in the same position since our expedite was approved 2/23. The last time I spoke to an agent she said that our case is in line to get a case set up. She also consulted with a supervisor and the supervisor sent an email to the department responsible for this, but I'm not sure what the email was for...

Like you, I got conflicting info about sending in documents or not. Like PP said, definitely talk to a supervisor to find out what's really going on with your expedite.

So apparently all supervisors were unavailable to talk and I should call back in about a month and see if my case has been sent then #######!! Ughhh

~~moved to NVC discussion from IR1/CR1 process and procedures as topic is about NVC expedite~~

NVC will only send your paperwork after you have a case complete and once it arrives embassy you will schedule your interview by yourself. I was in the same boat as you, and when I spoke to a supervisor she said embassy approved my expedite on the ground every NVC must complete there process before sending paperwork to them and I can schedule my interview myself with any date I like (that is where I have my expedite). That is what most embassy doing right now,

Hey Stefiec have they sent your case to the embassy yet?

[stefiec89 0]

No they have not

I just talked to my embassy and they told me that they typically get expedited cases after about 6 weeks. That's how long it takes NVC to set up the case file and everything, which was the condition of my expedite.

[biaobiao 40]

No they have not

my case is same as yours.. different information given by NVC agents.. i thought it was conditional expedite. then i received an email saying that it will be forwarded to the embassy.. i just called today and was advised that the case was completed friday... and not to send anything to NVC... we will see how it goes
