No, I'm the only sponsor.

Expedite requests to the NVC for K1's are usually automatically denied.

 

This is because K1's are expeditiously processed by NVC.  They just create a case number, invoice number, and put it in a pile for the next round of packages to be sent to the embassy.

 

You will need to contact the embassy to request the expedite.  You will need the case number and invoice number, if I recall correctly.

 

 

Thank you so much. I will do that then. Any advice for this? It'd be going to the London embassy.

I know there's probably a slim chance it would help speed things up, but I have to try.

Hello!

I had a question about submitting an expedite during the NVC stage of the K1 visa process.

My fiance (UK) and I just received our NOA2. I am facing a very dire situation in the United States - my oldest child (who is 17) is in emergency residential care for an eating disorder, and her facility is in another state 10 hours away. I will need to relocate there temporarily in about 6 weeks when she is in her step down care...possibly for 1-2 months. My younger child (who is 15) cannot come with me. As a widow, I have no other family who can care for my younger child. 

The eating disorder facility is willing to write a report detailing that my older daughter is in a life-or-death situation that requires me to relocate, and that they would urge an expedited processing of my fiance's K1 visa to ensure that my older daughter can have the support she needs from me, while my other daughter is safely with my fiance.

My question is, would I need to wait until I get my case number from NVC (approximately two weeks after the NOA2) before I could file the expedite? At this stage, if the expedite were approved, how fast would it speed up his medical and interview? He has already secured everything he needs, other than completing the DS-160 and scheduling the two appointments.

Thank you everyone! Makes total sense.

I will be filing an expedite request this week due to medical hardship, and my fiancé is already planning to be here next month for four weeks. I am worried about what might happen if we have his visa approved through the expedite and he’s currently in the US when it happens. Would he be allowed to leave freely to fly home and prep for the move without invalidating the K1?
