Expedited request approved miraculously in same hour

[Jay&Sid 211]

Praise be to God!

Yesterday I spoke to level-1 officer over phone and requested to connect with a level-2 supervisor. I explained her my situation in detail. She was very nice and booked a call back with level-2 supervisor. I received a call back from level-2 supervisor in next hour. She was very courteous. I explained to her my situation in detail. I told her that I have filed all petitions at the same time. My children’s cases has been approved but I cannot move forward due to my spouse’s case pending.

 

She said that she can’t do anything because every case is different and my spouse case is under normal processing time of VSC.  She told me that I have already been refused on my previous expedite request. Moreover, VSC just responded on my ONPT request that my spouse’s case is under normal processing time. She said that she can submit another expedite request if I want but there is no guarantee. I said please go ahead and submit.  She submitted my expedite request and gave me a reference no. I received an email after 30 minutes from VSC that my expedite request has been approved. Your case has been approved today. An approval notice is being mailed to you. This petition is being sent to NVC. Please direct future inquiries to NVC. The following are my I-130 journey timeline of all three cases.

It is a precanned response. Most of expedite requests receive same response, let’s imagine all requests got approval, everyone still wait in the same line.
