Need guidance
So I reached out to my congressman office to see if I can expedite based on the condition in Lebanon. I heard back today with the following assuming the expedite goes through which is another story but I had a concern about what was recommended which I think from what I have been reading will cause even more delay
"Even with an expedite being granted, U.S. Embassy in Beirut at this time has suspended all immigrant visa processing to focus capacity in assisting U.S. citizens. The recommendation that U.S Department of State is giving that there be a request to transfer to another U.S. Embassy. If the selected U.S. Embassy accepts the transfer please know that they will be weaving the case for scheduling based on availability, cancellations or the applicant’s circumstances."
Again I understand that this is all based on USCIS approving to expedite which is a stretch by itself. But I would like to know if anyone had to go through this and how much delay that will add.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Lastly this will be my 2nd time trying to expedite if I decide to go through it, if rejected will that impact my wife pending I-130 approval and get it delayed even more because I tried to expedite it

Embassy called with appointment; but no appointment letter, anyone have that happen, can’t schedule medical exam until I have letter
Eric DelicaneNov 10, 2023

@nagham kazem how do you know NVC expedite applications without any request from principal applicant or sponsor? could you pls explain further
K GNov 12, 2023
they called immediate relatives of US citizens like cr1,cr1, ir1, it2 and parents and I think they started with the k2 too and started setting up expedited appointment even if the applicant hasn’t asked for the expedite. I think it’s because of the situation in the region

Please has anyone had this happen?
K GNov 13, 2023
if you’re in lebanon, the panel physicians have been informed by the embassy to do the medical without the interview letter and even within after one week after the interview if there’s no availability.
Eric DelicaneNov 13, 2023
Great; Thanks. What about interview letter; don't you need that to get in, I was never sent one?
R B Nov 13, 2023
I can't speak for other embassies but for US embassy in Lebanon you will need the confirmation page of the DS-160 used for K1 or K3 Visa or DS-260 used for the IR1 Visa along with the original bank receipt. Once you have these 2 items you confirm the appointment using the phone number provided or the website
Eric DelicaneNov 13, 2023
This is an immigrant visa IR5
Eric DelicaneNov 13, 2023
All I got was a call from Beirut saying this is the day of appt; no letter no confirmation
Eric DelicaneNov 14, 2023
??
R B Nov 15, 2023
@Eric Delicane i assume you completed the DS-260 and uploaded all the necessary documents at the ceac. You will need to login or create an account on https://portal.ustraveldocs.com/ and follow the immigration visa steps
Eric DelicaneNov 15, 2023

MH HadNov 16, 2023

Eric DelicaneNov 16, 2023
Or they are expediting and you don’t get a letter with appt; for immigrant visa
R B Nov 17, 2023
@Eric Delicane just like @MH Had said for immigrant Visa you need to wait till the NVC completed review of your documents using the ceac. once done you will get an email with the day and time
Eric DelicaneNov 17, 2023

MH HadNov 18, 2023
