Possible to expedite baby's I130 application after wife's i130 approval and NVC stage?
Hi All,
A little backstory. My husband petitioned for me when he was still a LPR back in 2021 in F2A and he naturalized in July 2023. We had our son in 2022 and added him as a derivative for the F2A application. After citizenship we decided to upgrade the petition and file for a separate i130 for our son (we thought it would be faster seeing as F2A priority date regressed by 2 years now at 2018 :( ) Things moved pretty fast after that and now my case is a NVC awaiting documentation but my sons application hasn't moved at all we haven't received NOA1 yet. What option do we have with USCIS? How do we expedite approval and on what grounds? I understand we can delay uploading documents at NVC as we wait but we don't know how long we will wait. Have there been any similar cases to ours and how did you go about it?
Please any advise is appreciated.

what's your field office and have you been DQ'd?
I'm actually in the same situation but awaiting interview while awaiting baby's i130 approval.
However, you can send an email to USCIS to expedite your child's petition to enable you have an interview same date.

@Joy girl no we decided to wait to submit documents until his application is approved. We don't want a case where interview dates are far apart where my visa might age out while waiting for his. Thanks will write an email to them. Hope they'll act on it.

@noura rayz I'm about to write to them.

@Jane Frances she can't because you the child needs a separate application now that she's upgraded.

Could you provide some more info our case looks same even upgrade dates. When did you apply I130 for your child?
When you called USCIS did you expedite your case?

Hi @M H we applied on August 23rd I think. and we called and asked for expedition because Mother and child cannot be separated. It was approved after a week. Good luck with your case

@CKN KN congratulations 🎊 was it just a call you made for the expedition? I have an interview date for November but my kid's i130 is still yet to be approved.

Hi CKN
I am in the same boat my wife & child PD is Nov 2020(F2A) and we had a baby in 2022 and currently waiting for NVC interview.
I’m planning to apply for Citizenship but worries about my daughter application.
Can you please share how did you proceed further with the baby I130 application.
Have you applied your baby I130 application before or after your NVC interview..?
what is the process you followed for expediting baby I130 application.
please share your inputs and looking forward to hear from you.
