Expedite I-485 Interview

[deborabr 16]

We are waiting for an interview to be scheduled for AOS for my mother but looks like Seattle office is super backed up and they are still scheduling cases from early 2019. My mother lives with us and we will be transferring next Summer. Is it possible to request expedite based on us transferring? Do we need to have the actual orders or just a letter from my husband's command showing his tour here ends soon would suffice? Anyone had any luck with that?!

 

Thanks!!

You sure can!  I did the same thing with the Seattle office.  As soon as I got my orders, I had to have my wife's and step son's AOS approved before departing for Japan, so I requested for an expedite, and got approved.  If you message me your personal email, I can forward you a template I created for expedite.  

 

I will ad, it only works if you're going to be stationed overseas.

Thank you so much for the information. It would be great if you can send me the template you've used. I will send you my email. Thanks again!!!

How did he get your mother on his orders as a dependent?

My only guess would be is if he claims her as a dependent, and is designated on his Page 2.

I think it's a little bit far fetched unless your mother is a dependent of your husband and I agree with @Ed&Midori1031 that you'll have to PCS overseas cause if you're only moving inside the US you can just have the case transferred but by all means try.

Thank you for all the information. My mother is not on his orders as a dependent. In fact we haven't even received the possible locations to transfer to yet but I know for a fact that USCIS will not schedule the interview before we move because they are so backed up right now. My mother does live with us though so if we move she will go with us too and from what I've heard if we change address our application goes back to the bottom of the wait list at the new office so I was trying to see what options we could have to expedite it while we are here but I will have to wait until we have official orders. My husband is the co-sponsor for her application but not sure if that helps anything. @Ed&Midori1031 thanks again for the template!!!
