What Is an Expedite Request?
An expedite request is a request submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) asking that a pending application or petition be reviewed more quickly.
USCIS may consider expedite requests in certain situations based on specific circumstances. These requests must typically be supported by documentation explaining the reason for the request.
Who May Apply?
Common situations include:
• Individuals experiencing urgent situations
• Applicants facing financial or personal hardship
• Individuals requesting faster processing of a pending USCIS application
Each case is unique, and not all applications qualify for expedited processing.
If you are unsure whether your situation may qualify, we recommend consulting with a licensed immigration attorney.
Forms Commonly Included in This Process
There is no separate form for an expedite request. The request is submitted in connection with an existing USCIS application or petition.
Supporting documentation may be required depending on the request.
