My husband called and explained the situation and expedited based on he's the petitioner for both and since mine was approved they should approve baby too since Mother and child cannot be separated. Good luck with your case!

Update. Baby's I130 got approved today exactly a week after we expedited by calling USIS. Thanks @mam521 your advise helped us alot!! Now for the NVC welcome letter wait, which hopefully wont be long and we can proceed together.

Yeah. We think it's best to just wait to submit the documents and expedite approval for the baby. Thanks

Thanks Thanks! Approximately how long did it take them to expedite your children's petition after you had called them?

Thanks. Once at NVC can we ask them to put the interview dates close together? Do they consider such requests?

Hi All, A little backstory. My husband petitioned for me when he was still a LPR back in 2021 in F2A and he naturalized in July 2023. We had our son in 2022 and added him as a derivative for the F2A application. After citizenship we decided to upgrade the petition and file for a separate i130 for our son (we thought it would be faster seeing as F2A priority date regressed by 2 years now at 2018 ) Things moved pretty fast after that and now my case is a NVC awaiting documentation but my sons application hasn't moved at all we haven't received NOA1 yet. What option do we have with USCIS? How do we expedite approval and on what grounds? I understand we can delay uploading documents at NVC as we wait but we don't know how long we will wait. Have there been any similar cases to ours and how did you go about it? This wait is so frustrating . I was thinking of just going ahead with my application and getting a visitor visa for him and we can travel together incase the wait ages out my visa. Then just shuffle back and forth until his interview? Please any advise is appreciated.
