Hi Johannita,I called the USCIS hotline (800) 375-5283 and followed these steps:
1. Navigated the automated system, saying "expedite Refugee Travel Document" and confirming Form I-131.
2. Explained my situation and waited for a live officer.
3. Spoke with an officer, who instructed me to wait for a call from Officer Tier 2.
4. Received a call from Officer Tier 2 and was told to wait a few weeks for further guidance.
5. Followed up every 15 days, and after 2 months, my request was approved without needing to submit additional documents.
This process required patience and persistence, but ultimately resulted in approval.
I wanted to ask how you were able to expedite both your and your spouse’s applications together.
When I tried to do that, the USCIS officer said they can only discuss or process each applicant’s expedite request individually, and that my spouse would need to follow up separately.
Could you please share how you managed to get both applications expedited at the same time?
Thank you so much for your help!
