Expedite Request for I-130 - Beneficiary Job

[Anonymous35460 3]

Hi

 

We have pending I-130's for consular processing (spouse and kids). I wanted to know if anyone has been in a similar situation and gotten such an expedite approved, or seen it happen before? So I, the beneficiary, work as an offshore contractor for a US company for the last 5 years. Since they found out I have intentions to immigrate they've mentioned several times that they would like for me to transition as a full time employee once I am there. They've become quite eager lately as there's been structural changes and they're in need for more full time employees and are constantly asking me where I am at in the process. 

 

Could we put in an expedite request on the basis of it being in the best interests of the US government, as me immediately contributing to the economic growth of the country, and with the national interest of strategic importance in impacting sectors that relate to national interests (the tech sector). This aligns with national interests in economic and technological leadership.

 

Could anyone please enlightenment with the PROS and CONS of putting such a request in?

Which consulate? DCF would have been the way to go, but if you've already filed the I-130 that ship has sailed now.

I don’t think they would be eligible for DCF as this is the beneficiary with a job transfer, not the petitioner

I don’t see any cons, expedite request don’t affect the process in any way, even if it gets denied. I’d say give it a shot, it’s free to try.

This is not a pending job transfer.  It's a possible option.  If it were an actual transfer, getting the proper visa for a foreigner to work in the USA, would be the employer's responsibility. If you are the breadwinner, and have an actual requirement to move to the USA quickly, you could certainly try an expedite, but don't hold your breath.

Ask your Employer to transfer you to the US on a L, and the children.

For a moment I was about to get super upset at missing a chance at DCF!

I am not the breadwinner for the overall household. My husband earns well, so ‘money’ is really not what is needed for us. I guess that side of things does not qualify us.

I had this option discussed prior to the petitioning of I-130’s but we don’t qualify for L visas either, as I am an independent offshore contractor. The U.S. company does not have a foreign located company that they would be ‘transferring’ me from. I guess ‘transitioning’ is a better word than ‘transferring’ for my situation here. I’d be transitioning from an offshore contractor to a company employee once I move there.

 

I really appreciate the time you guys gave to give me your feedback regarding our situation.

Good spot. For an expedite doesn't that need to be for the USC as well though? So if it's the beneficiaries job, would that count as a reason?

I do not understand what the basis of the expedite is, does not seem to fit into any of the categories.

• Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner’s or applicant’s failure to timely file the benefit request or to timely respond to any requests for evidence;
• Emergencies or urgent humanitarian situations;
• Nonprofit organization (as designated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)) whose request is in furtherance of the cultural or social interests of the United States;
• Government interests, including cases identified by the government as urgent because they involve the public interest, public safety, national interest, or national security interests; and
• Clear USCIS error.

Yes, successful expedites are usually about the USC petitioner. I don’t think it would be granted but we have seen weird things happen sometimes
