How long does it take to process I-526 with expedition?

My I-526 expedition request has just been approved last week. How long does it take to get the I-526 approved during this pandemic and USCIS furlough situations?

  There is no set approval timeline particularly during the pandemic and USCIS furlough situations.

  You can most likely expect the decision within a few weeks.

  There is no set time. It depends on the reason for the expedite, but hopefully, within 30 days.

  If your I-526 expedite request has been granted, you should expect USCIS to adjudicate your case within 30 days or sooner. Keep in mind, however, that an expedite request does always mean a quick approval; USCIS might request additional evidence (RFE), but at least you will know sooner than with regular processing times.

  With some expedite I-526s I have seen, some take as little as a month, some up to a year. It is a discretionary thing so there is no set timeline. Hopefully, yours will be more on the "month" side of that spectrum.
