I got an email saying that my husband’s expedition request was approved. But we never applied for one.

I’m not complaining because we started this visa process 2 years ago in October 2021. We were DQ’d in May so I’m excited getting he’s getting an interview appointment. 
 

But I always assumed that we had to personally apply for an expedited request. And I never had a dire reason to request one so I never bothered. 

 

So imagine my surprise when we got an email saying our expedited request was approved. My husbands case went from being at NVC to Doha soon after I received the email. 

 

What would be the reason for NVC expedited a case without request. And how often does this happen?

I've seen this a few times on here where the update says expedite approved when they didn't apply for one. I think it is just someone on the other end hitting the wrong button.

Most likely.

I did some digging online and I found a group for people in the visa process in Qatar. 

 

It's seems a lot of people’s cases were expedited without request. Either NVC is trying to clear back log or US embassy. 

 

My case now says ready for interview.
