I am pretty sure we are not shooting anyone. Just telling the truth like everyone on here is claiming to do

Seems evident in this thread already that anyone who doesn't tell you or the OP exactly what you want to hear is "rude"...

Well you guys enjoy your life on visa journey. We have better things to do

 

but as you just said earlier above you "have better things to do" than be on VJ so doubtful you'll be around to respond to anyone's comments anymore...or ask any further questions that come up as you and your wife venture through your immigration journey over the years....hopefully you find another forum that can help you with any future issues/questions about the immigration process since it seems you are uninterested in sticking around here.

OMG this is one entertaining thread! 

[Unlockable 7,306]

JFH's responses were not rude or disrespectful. 

 

We all know that pregnancy is a blessing and it should be considered a priority to have both parents present during the birth. But the harsh truth is that it is not a reason to expedite.

 

There are a few harsh truths when dealing with immigration. There are threads on VJ of people getting denied a tourist visa to the US to see a dying mother. Seen many threads where an immigrant wants to bring over child(ren) that they raised all their lives only to discover that they can't immigrate them because they are not their biological child(ren). We have seen spouses with children deported with no solution to being reunited with their families in the US anytime soon. The list goes on.

 

As for the OP. Seems the OP has a difficult time accepting that the expedite was denied. Whatever reason that she gave was determined not to be sufficient enough. This is her time to be frustrated, angry, and all other emotions she will experience. I believe her posting here was just an attempt to find just a thread of hope for a faster process. 

 

As time goes on she will likely accept the decision. And, although it will take longer than she would like, her husband will eventually be with her.

Unfortunately it's hard for people to digest that a pregnancy will not make any immigration process move faster. If that was the case, people would be falling pregnant or faking it just to jump to first place in the line.

Think about H1B or L1 express processing. 

Why don't govt offer express processing at a premium price for people who want to process it faster no matter if it takes money to do that!

Govt can hire more people to acomodate workload and people who wouldn't pay can still get unaffected general processing timeline and those who want to put everything on stake just to be with their better half can get it faster.

H-1B and L-1 visas are non-immigrant visas, which fall into a very different line of processing than immigrant visas (K-1 is non-immigrant but processed very similarly to an immigrant visa). I wouldn't call it fair to compare them as there are very significant differences on how they must be handled. LPRs are granted much more rights than other types of visa holders. They don't take granting LPR status as lightly like somebody only coming to the US temporarily.

 

There's 2 major issues I have with premium processing:

1. It puts less-well-off people in a separate queue. Do they deserve to be apart from their loved ones a minute longer than anybody else? I can't bring myself to even consider "yes" there. Rich or poor, you should be treated equally by IOs and COs. I have the means and would gladly pay more to go through immigration faster, but I don't think I should go through it any faster than somebody struggling to just meet the bare financial requirements for sponsorship.
2. Premium processing only works if you can have some sort of control the number of people using the service. H-1Bs are capped annually. L-1s are a very small fraction of visa cases. Family-based immigration is far, far larger than either of those, and immediate relative petitions are uncapped by law.

Paper processing is one of the major reasons why it takes so much time.

...

Because they don't have a fully electronic or hybrid information exchange system it takes so much time to exchange paper work.

Yes, USCIS is way behind the times. I 100% get this and agree. They are in the process of digitizing many processes, but the sheer volume (combined with the pace federal agencies work at) means this is slow moving. There's also a lot of nuances that create unique challenges here, such as some documents must bne physical so they can examine seals and other marks to verify authenticity.

Unfortunately, they just aren't there yet.

Irony is when you ask uscis or nvc on what ground one can get Expedicious Processing, they mention these two as well. So I find it cruel to not let two humans to live with their chosen partners and kids be with their parent.

...

But I think if a human is suffering, then rule has to be improvised! 

The categories that qualify for an expedite are very broad. The specifics of a case as to how they fall into those categories is crucial. Immigration is a privilege, not a right. Nobody is saying you can't be together. You just have to wait out the process for the US, or you can choose to spend your lives together anywhere else. Nobody is keeping you apart.

 

Life is suffering. There is no painless way to do immigration properly. I'm not saying the process can't be improved (it 125% can), but it will never be both secure (to the US as well as to abuse from the petitioner or beneficiary) and painless.

And what you should do is strive to help people. Use this website for what it was designed for. There should be able to come together and provide support becuase we all have experienced what its like during the process. You are being rude. Both of your replies were rude. And thats an obvious truth that anyone with an unbiased point of view would agree on. But maybe the one who cant handle the truth is you. Well you guys enjoy your life on visa journey. We have better things to do

I'm sorry you two had to hear messedup opinions. 

 

Here's the thing,

 

Chances to get Expedicious Processing maybe less but you should try and if they don't accept the request then it wouldn't affect your case in a negative way.

 

For all those whinning, Too bad if you can't take it hard way, swalow it or go away!!! I hope doesn't happen to someone close enough to you to affect you. This is what should be the answer.

 

Seeing someone in pain and thrashing them with opinion is what human has evolved to!!

 

Peace to the world.

Can I reach out to a senator ? 

 

I helped someone through campaigning, They might write a letter for us.

 

If they do, Is there any chance NVC might accept expedite ? 

Yes you definitely can reach out to your State Representative or Senator. If you're situation is severe enough, then you should! 

You can send another request with further evidence of your need for expedite. Include anything you find necessary and related to your hardship. 

Good luck dear!

Hello, Good People!

 

Our CR1 case was received by NVC on 23rd Feb 2018, Since then we haven't received any notification. So I called them to know what's going on. Lady told me wait up to 8 weeks. Being sick and tired of depression off staying away from my husband, Asked them can I get this expedited. She told me I can, So I did.

 

Here's the response;

 

"

Thank you for your patience. We sent your request to the U.S. Consulate in India. However, they cannot expedite this case. To be fair to all applicants, the Department of State schedules immigrant visa interviews in the order that the cases complete processing at the NVC.

 

Once your case is created and ready for process, we will work with you. After we receive the required fees and review the documents, we will schedule a visa interview appointment.

 

"

 

Now I know they didn't consider our case is bad enough to be expedited. But here's I can't figure out.

 

Question  : They didn't mention a case number for NVC.  But they're saying they've sent our case to India. What does that mean  ? 

Are they processing our case skipping things they usually do (my understanding is that they ask for taxes for three years to verify I make enough to support my husband in United States. There's a minimum income requirement that guarantees that my husband isn't going to be a public charge. And they also ask for police verification of my husband. There's a processing fee that they take is about 450 or some and once all this is appropriate they send the case to the embassy of the beneficiary's country to make them go through medical exam, biometrics and last is the interview). I may be wrong. Correct me please.

 

Back to the response, Did they skip all that and sent the case to embassy in India and he has to show all those docs and pay the fee on the interview day  ??

 

We're so screwed by the unnecessary delay by the govt rules. 

 

I understand govt want to verify major things that if we're in a real relation or not and if he's a bad guy or no. Do it please it keeps America and Americans safe but don't make real people suffer so much that they are so much hurt to not be able to recover from!!!! 

 

Peace to the world and humanity which isn't considered anymore.

 

So the NVC received your case one month ago, and the US Consulate in India has denied your request to expedite.  While I sympathize with you of being sick, tired and depressed, this is not enough evidence to expedite your case.  You are in the same boat with 99% of all other NVC cases from India.  

 

It seems to me that you're not here for answers, but to complain about a long an complicated process that can take up to not months, but years.  My wife and I are still in the immigration process, and it's been nearly two years now.  

 

"We're so screwed by the unnecessary delay by govt rules".  It's not your call to say what is unnecessary and what isn't to the USCIS.  These layers : Medical exams, biometrics, AOS, and waivers are all in place for a reason, not to screw you over.

 

I'm sure you and your husband are real good people, but there are hundreds, possibly thousands of people from all over the world in your same position waiting their turn.  

 

Wait, don't tell me....you thought this was going to be easy??  No, navj, this isn't easy, cheap, simple and worry free.  It's difficult, expensive, complicated and stressful.  Welcome to the club.

^^^THIS.

Too many people think immigration and anything immigration related is easy. It most certainly is not.

 

Folks need to understand that bringing immigrant spouses/relatives will take time, effort, money and patience. Most of the time, people think it's a walk in the park. It's not. No one is being unfair, no one is being rude, no one is sugar-coating the truth. 

 

Expedites are extremely hard to obtain, they aren't given out like candy. They are reserved for people whose reasons are usually tantamount to life or death situation to the USC. Since the embassy denied this already, they deemed it not significant enough for expedite. Besides OP, you are close to the end of the line anyway, why not just bear it a little while longer? 

 

Members of this forum are well aware of how difficult it is to be apart from loved ones, because we have ALL been there. We know what it's like. Save your energy OP. Pick yourself up, wait out like the rest and focus on your next steps.

Are you really so self-focused that you haven’t stopped to think - or properly read some of the responses - to realize that there ARE other people here going through really hard times? (Whether or not it’s harder than your secret difficulty is hard to judge and anyway subjective).  

 

The hard truth is that the kindest response about immigration questions is the honest response. What exactly would be the point of anyone giving you false hope, other than to make you feel even worse later when it doesn’t work out any faster but you’ve got your hopes up in the interim?

Thanks for response!

 

Stop making counter argument, I or anyone isn't posting question to get your personal opinion that what should one think or expect. These questions are to get general idea of how case can processed faster. Not that I'm saying anywhere that drop everyone else and process me first. 

 

First, Did I say that reason for expedite is depression ??? 

 

Why'd you have to make up stuff ??? What's wrong with y'all  ?

 

Second, I did share how I feel about my case and usual timeline which other people could be going through as well, is too long. And should be improvised. 

 

I hope you get to be with your wife soon. 

 

Third, That's my opinion that we're suffering due to much delays and backlogs and age old ways to verify authenticity, IT IS NOT YOUR CALL TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN THINK OR NO!! 

I don't deny the fact that every stage is for sure neccassry but the way things are being handled isn't most efficient and it's not money that is being affected but real human lives!

 

Fourth, Who said it I thought it was easy  ??

 

I just want the things to go as fast as possible.

 

Please read carefully and don't throw your personal opinion and frustration on someone who's asking a simple question.

 

There's a reason why I put information about the case and question separately!

 

Peace.

How'd you figure that someone's trouble is harder then my secret hardship ?????

 

Your argument is yet again filled with opinion out of ignorance without reading!!!!!
