I130
My expedite request was denied. I am going to apply again in January. Anyone here whose expedite request has been approved? If so can you provide some relevant insight?

oh ok I don't know if u can expedite 130 am sure about 765 and have u gone for your interview
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
No my case has just been on actively review. My husband is in Nigeria. We are just waiting for next steps but I have been told it's a much longer wait for a spouse from Nigeria.

yes they right is really crazy in Nigeria now just keep praying but I know u can expedite for husband living abroad nay be u try later next month
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
thank you I sure will but I need to have a good enough reason for the expedite to be approved and I don't know what to say. My health situation is not a good enough reason I'm guessing since it was denied.

yes health situation and financial hardship
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
May I ask what can be qualified as a financial hardship? I'm sorry but when I apply again I would really like for them to approve the expedite so it's better to seek help from the community that can provide mores resources. Thank you in advance

Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
yeah I have a lawyer as well but in many cases you must be ready to advocate for yourself.

@Tee Hunnie what service center is processing your case? I had a 130 for my wife and I got a decision 10 days after the status changed to “Being actively reviewed”. That could be a good sign for your case. I tried to expedite it 2x before and it got denied both times

California Service Center
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
wow congrats did you get approved yet?
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
my case went into actively reviewed 9 days after receiving it but because they have a long processing time I have been trying to get is looked at much sooner. 2-3 years waiting for a decision is just way too long so anything I can do to at least get it to one year if waiting time is much better

Are u a US Citizen or LPR? Depending on that, your case may take longer or it could be quicker. When did you fill up?
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
USC PD date October 14,2021 and actively reviewed since October 25, filed I129 November 5th

You need to be patient. Case is relatevily new. Don’t lose your mind. I know it’s hard to be separated from our love ones, but at the end it will pay off big time
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
I know I'm working on that big time but it's the fact where my husband is from that is making me nervous. the turn around time for a Nigerian is much tougher than any other place of residence for others. there's a stigma attached to Nigeria which can possible take a very long time
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
but you're right and I'm gonna do my very best
Patiently WaitingNov 20, 2021
thank you for the kind words

Your case is relatively new. I don't think there is anything with the country "Nigeria".
