I got mine less than a week after i131 approval

hi @ummuh - did you receive a combo card or separate for travel ? also, did the status changed on USCIS after “case was approved “?

not yet I separated them

one week later after approval. I received combo card today.

Did you expedite your request? Also isyour case family based or employment based? Thanks

I did expedite. Mine is employed based

Thanks Adriana. if you can share reason and way you approached to expedite might help. I am employment based May filler and have a family emergency to travel. I tried it once showing family emergency need and was denied. Am in desperate need to travel as family is waiting in emergency and am not able to. Thanks

hi @Ks - don’t give up! I’ve tried to expedite twice before and both denied, even with Congress help. I tried again and explained financial impact due to lose of work (attached rent lease) and included my employment letter explaining they needed me back . I explained all on a very detailed email . I called USCIS and sent the documentation via email . They said you can try again after 5 days of denial, so keep trying as it will depend on the officer .

Thanks much Adriana for keeping hope alive. I will try again. 🙏

good luck 🍀👍
