I e-filed for my 3rd AP on July5th and sent the supporting documents to National Benefits Center (Case# MSCxxxxxxxxx). Expected processing time is 30 days to 60 days. My current AP is expiring on September 3rd. I need to travel urgently on business in the first week of September for 2 weeks. Has anyone got any experience in expediting AP from the National Benefits Center?
Appreciate if you can share your experiences.
According to Dallas local office, business travel can not be considered emergency and they can not do anything to expedite applications efiled with National Benefits Center.

Thanks

I called that 800 number with NBC after waiting for more than 2 1/2 months. All they told me is to wait and to be patient. They asked me to call back after 30 days if I still haven't got anything.
Then I received an approval notice thru email 2 weeks after I called.


Good luck!
 
An update

My e-filed AP of July5 has been approved on Aug26. Received the USCIS email approval on Aug29 and received the AP today.
However my wife's AP (which was also e-filed on July5 and supporting documents for both sent together) has no update so far. Wondering what is the National Benefits Center doing with her AP application?
