Congratulations! I'm glad to hear that your visa was approved in 2 months! That's great news! Sorry that you gave me such a low review. Please note that I did not advise that you "would not qualify", as I have no way to predict that with certainty; my advice to you was that expedited processing requests "tend" to get denied unless it's based on significant circumstances such as humanitarian reasons, as per the USCIS description found here: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/expedite-requests. Such circumstances did not exist, so there was a higher chance of denial. This wasn't my own personal opinion- it's based on the language used by the USCIS as well as my experience with other clients who have attempted to request expedited processing under such circumstances and who have been denied. You got lucky. But my goal with all my clients is to be transparent and set the expectation that most of these requests are, unfortunately, denied unless they meet very specific criteria. And I made it very clear that it's always up to the reviewing officer to decide that, as they have full discretion to make that determination. In other words, whether it is approved or not depends on the officer your case ends up with. Much of it comes down to luck. But I always tell clients who inquire about expedited processing that you have nothing to lose by asking for it. The worst that will happen is that they won't approve it but it will have no impact on the case. Finally, I advised that pursuant to Boundless' Limited Scope Agreement, Boundless does not provide assistance with expedited processing requests nor do they normally advise on these matters. I provided this advice on this topic as a courtesy, and clarified that this was something you would have to pursue on your own. It's unfortunate that you felt the need to give me a low review for providing this information. In any case, I wish you both the very best of luck going forward!
