My employer filed an EB2 case for me, and I have a 2021 priority date. Given that I was born in India, it appears I will have to wait a very long time for a green card. I have a child with a medical condition and obtaining a green card would be especially helpful to provide him with more long-term stability regarding medical care. Is it possible to request that USCIS expedite my case?

Answer

Although there is a process for requesting that a petition be expedited, this would be for the USCIS to adjudicate a particular case. Unfortunately, the USCIS cannot “expedite” a priority date becoming current. (05.Oct.2022)
