Happy to see two ILs. Congratulations to both of you @Mano17, @Cryons4time.

 

@Mano17, your DQ date is listed as Jul 2022 in our tracking sheet. When did you become current in VB? Trying to understand why it took this long.

[Mano17 7]

Oh not sure how that happened when I updated as my DQ 7th May 2024 and my priority date 6th Mar 2012

EB2 or EB2-NIW? And what's your PD? Please do fill your profile/timeline in.

 

What's the reason for the expedite? You can contact NVC to ask, but job wouldn't usually be a valid reason - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/national-visa-center/immigrant-visas-processing-general-faqs.html

Eb2-NIW, PD March 23, 2023, my PD is current got DQ in July 2025. I tried to add my timeline but I couldn't edit the spreadsheet. I spoke with an ex Consular officer, she said I can expedite it, but I just want to know if someone else here has successfully expedited his case. On the spread sheet one person expedited his interview.

 

Thank you

@Mano17 Hi Mano! You are right that you need new Police Clearance if it's going to hit 2 years for the interview. For each family member. It says so when you register and on the links in the letter.
For the other countries I don't know, but there is a lenghty paragraph on that specific subject on the governement website link in the letter.

@Emmajapan Expedite in Montreal are really rare. They are usually only for medical reasons. It's stated on the government website that a job offer is not ok for expedite.
