In reply to Sharan. You could try to use that as a basis to expedite. Maybe you can get a letter from the doctor explaining that the stress and anxiety of your pending case is making your condition worse, and that if the case is expedited, it would improve your health. It could work, but most expedite requests are denied these days. You should try anyway, and if it does not work, consider a mandamus lawsuit, where you sue the government and try to force them to complete your case (you have to try to expedite in the "normal" way before you try the lawsuit). Some people are filing mandamus cases and it usually works. Make sure the case is complete and ready to go before you try to expedite. Take care, Jason

In reply to Loah Maisels. That sometimes happens - you can send an email reminding them and ask them to schedule the interview. You can find their email if you follow the link under Resources called Asylum Office Locator. Take care, Jason

Hi sir. I applied asylum in 2017 but since then i have not had any feedback since then. I then decided to expedite my case on 02/01/2023 and shockingly i got a receipt notice on 02/03/2023 saying they will find a day to schedule my interview but it’s now 06/08/2023 and i have not heard any word. At this point i am losing hope
Please What should i do?

In reply to Yosr. You can use that as a reason. I do not know whether it will work - generally, a health problem or family separation issue are the best reasons to expedite, but since there are no hard and fast rules about expediting, you can try for any reason (or no reason at all). The article above provides a model for how to present the request, and you would just use whatever reason and evidence you have. Take care, Jason

In reply to Samih. It is very difficult to expedite. Maybe things will get easier in a couple months - they are currently giving priority to Afghan evacuees. Once that population is done (which will probably be soon), they may have more time. So you could wait a bit and try again. You can also try again now, but unless you have a new reason, it probably won't work. Anyway, since there are no real rules about expediting, you can do whatever you think best, and there is generally no harm in asking. Take care, Jason

I applied for asylum within the last 7 months so that I can apply to speed up the interview because I am taking the exams for modification in medicine in America and then I have to apply for a specialization and I have to have status in America in order to be accepted ?

I submitted a request for acceleration last month at the Virginia office, and on the 12th they sent a message that they could not set an appointment and that they were waiting until the sources allowed them to set an appointment for the interview. I contacted them several times and did not find a response. Do you advise me to contact again and make a second request to speed up the interview, or should I wait?
