Speed Up Your I-130 Petition?

Thinking of expediting your family petition (Form I-130)? It's possible, but there are conditions.

USCIS might expedite your case if you can show:

  • Financial Hardship: Prove you or your relative are facing serious financial problems (medical bills, job loss etc.).

  • Humanitarian Reasons: Show urgent need, like a sick family member in danger. Provide medical records or doctor's letters.

  • Military Service: You're deploying/stationed abroad and are a US military member. Show your military orders.

  • Aging Out Child: Beneficiary (your child) is nearing 21 and will lose eligibility if the petition takes too long. Provide proof of age and explain the urgency.

How to Expedite:

Contact USCIS directly with evidence to support your request. Remember, approval is not guaranteed, and USCIS decides on a case-by-case basis.

  • Denied Expedite?

Your petition will still be processed, but according to regular timelines.
