K1 NVC Expedite Process

[kev and julia 2]

HI,

 

Now our K1 case is at NVC and we are thinking about using the expedite process.  We are going to use the argument of essential workforce.  Under CDC guideline, I, the petitioner, am considered an essential worker at 1c category.  Has anyone use the essential worker argument to get the expedite approval?  What evidence and documentations did you use?

 

Thank you.

The expedite request needs to be made to the consulate,  nvc will simply say k1s are already expedited through nvc

Specifically, I email my expedite request to this address with my documentations, right?

 

 NVCExpedite@state.gov

That would be for immediate relatives visas not for a k1.

Ah I see. So I go directly to the Mexico consulate website.  Does this place look right to you?

Your request would need to go to the IV unit not the NIV.  Some consulates have a unique email address for expedites, some simply use the general IV email address.   Not sure how CDJ does it.

Good luck.  I thought this kind of expedite was meant to apply to potential immigrants, not the petitioner....... but no harm in trying.

Nice to see that things are moving along? Since you applied in August, I have seen many longer than that here

Good luck to you

Thank you Keickhoff.  Just trying to find ways to make process quicker.  Most people stuck at NVC because of the consulates.  We will see what happens with this expedite process.

I don't understand the justification for an expedite request.  If you, as the petitioner, are in the US and are an essential worker, how does that affect the beneficiary?

Would you let us know if they expedite your case please? 
it can help other essential workers. 
thank you!

From what I gathered so far, it is pretty much pure luck.  If you can come up with a sad story, essential workers, mental distress, physical health distress, whatever, just try to submit the request.  The request itself is free.

In mexico, the K1 applicant has access to schedule their own interview.  You can schedule it about 90 days out immediately, and if you check weekly you can easily bump that up 30-45 days.

 

Just keep checking the schedule daily/weekly.  If people cancel they'll open up new slots.
