So what does the NVC expedite do then? I've read on older forums that if it gets expedited at the NVC, it's shipped to the embassy for processing. Is that right? Thanks for your reply.
I see everyone else writing their experience so I thought I'd do the same. I filed for I-130 expedite because I am in my deployment window. I have no orders yet however. I had my commander write a letter, and my unit deployment manager write a letter confirming I was in my deployment window and that my orders could be short notice. Then I had my own letter and that was addressed to the local congressman's office. I gave all the letters to the congressman, and they had their own letter as well. Expedite approved, and i130 approved all on the same day. By the way, I filed on April 25. It CAN happen without orders, despite what some people believe.
