Hello,
While applying for marriage based greencard USCIS made a terrible mistake: They approved our I-130. However, they approved it for Adjustment of Status instead of consular processing that was explicitely requested on the application. This forced us to file Form I-824. Not only is the filing fee 400 USD, the processing time for this form (that I was never supposed to file) is up to 14 months!
After trying to fight this and calling USCIS for a month without success, we got the recommendation to bite the bullet and just file it since everything else would delay things even more.
Now I came across https://www.uscis.gov/us-visa-and-immigration-forms/forms-in...pedite-request. Since this was clearly a USCIS mistake I would like to request expedite processing.
Thanks!!

- Does anyone have experience with this?
- Does this work in my situation and does this work after I-824 was filed? (I got I-797C confirmation some time ago)
- The link above is very vague. Is there a way to make this request in written form, without calling the USCIS Contact Center?
- How can we get the 400$ filing fee for I-824 back (sue to clear USCIS error)? What is the best approach to fight that?
Thanks!!
