Immigration Process

My husband and I filed our I-130 before his deployment, since we knew we would be separated anyway for the wait. applied for an expedite on grounds of the deployment, and the USCIS agent agreed we were a textbook case for it...

Expedite rejected. Almost immediately. In the back and forth of conflicting info, we eventually went to chat with the base lawyers (more to conform we didn't screw up somewhere when filing). The lawyer admitted that the expedites for military that they advertise is a complete myth. In his MANY years he's heard of 2 succeeding. Not even cases he's handled, two that he's aware of full stop. 

We are now reaching the end of deployment, with no end in sight. Just the waiting game I guess!
