How long did it take them to deny it if you don't mind me asking? We are PD March 21st 2024 and were in a very similar situation. Husband got job offer, but we are close i130 approval date based on forums, etc. We were given similar advice by respected forum members, so we requested to expedite on May 5th. Received an email just 2 days ago saying that they would answer within 10 days ( email was dated May 5th ) So we really don't know how long it takes them to decide if they will expedite or not. Eventually if i130 happens before that, we will do it again at NVC stage. We are currently at CSC.
