keep in mind, expedite doesn't imply they are expediting the case or the interview process. it only refers to sending the files.

It also means the NVC needs send the files in order to meet the interview dates availability window.

Where is she doing her medical?  Taipei or down south?

Has anyone checked out the new processing time page on the USCIS website https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/#mainContent . They've mentioned they are processing cases dated August 24th, 2017 instead of September 1st.

Oh USCIS :jest::jest:

Don't be confused buddy.
These people are really super dis-organized.
Am guessing what happened is that they moved their date to Sept 1 but now realized how many people are calling with complaints and trying to put in service requests so they moved it back to August 24th.
I think something like this has happened before. It's so they can say "sorry, you're still within processing times" and leave it be.

I know you and many others are still waiting. Hoping something happens for y'all by weekend!

This is good!! I think
It's with an officer. Which is helpful as we know it's not sitting somewhere collecting dust.

Now if only they can tell you when you can get a response...
Keep hanging on. I pray it's coming!

They changed the formatting too.  Gosh I dislike them right now.  :(  They need more employees to tackle the workload.
