t was asked already, but I did not see an answer, when was the I130 submitted to USCIS (i.e. how far along are you in the process)?  Expedite and maybe some help from a Congress

We filed 13 days ago

J1 is non immigrant, I do not see HRR, H1b is dual intent and I know schools have used it and obviously needs the school to be cap exempt.

Thank you for this… our school is collaborating with a local university, so qualifying for cap exempt status may be possible.

Thank you.

There was one person who was able to file DCF after filing I130 via USCIS but it was a long process that involved their congressman and they were also connected to the military.

Have you asked the embassy in the UK if they would accept your DCF request if you cancelled the existing petition? Have you contacted USCIS about expediting your case due to job offer? Has your wife been offered a job in the US too or is it just you? 

We haven’t tried to expedite it yet through USCIS, as we wanted to throughly explore DCF first.  The embassy only relies with a computer generated message.  I believe a human has yet to read my two emails, as they are filtered out due to active i130.  

Both myself and my wife has been offered positions in a private high school.  I am just a teacher, but she is a senior level administrator.

I wish you had come here first.

Me too!!!

My wife and I have been offered contracts starting in July.  I am a USC, she a British National.  We have been married 9 years and have a 6 y/o daughter who is also USC.

Not knowing much about the process, we figured the I130 process was going to be fairly quick.  After filling, completing and submitting the i130, I quickly realized it is going to take many months.  

I did more research and found out about DCF.  I contacted the embassy in London and they responded that they would not help us, as we have already filed an i130.  I feel sick.  

Is there anything I can do?  If I canceled the i130, would they help me then?  I feel very desperate and disappointed.  

Any advice would be welcomed.
