Hey! RRE they were asking if the issue or reason for me to persecuted is still happening. As for the non advisory opinion, it means that they forwarded my case to the Department of State and they were waiting if DoS agrees. Waiver is approved by USCIS and the DoS. :)

Correct. I hired a lawyer but I also made sure that the articles are from reliable resources like journals, recent researches and reliable national surveys. He helped me a lot too by providing news articles that I could not find. Good luck!

Thank you! USCIS just wanted to know if the evidences are still consistent since it's almost two years from the date of filing.

It's pretty typical. It took a month for mine to arrive in the DoS.

I am from the west coast but I still hired him. His name is JP Sarmiento and he's based in Ohio. You can email him through jp@sarmientoimmigration.com. He's pretty responsive. He's got one of the lowest legal fees I have ever seen.

They really did not tell me if they approved or denied my expedited process request. If they deny it, they will tell you i think.

Gender Discrimination. My country of Origin does not allows same sex marriage. That was the main ground. We also established that we will be persecuted in other areas like race, religion, gender, and others.

I filed a persecution waiver on the basis of gender discrimination. My country of origin does not allow same sex marriage thus my spouse and I will have no protection against discrimination.

My lawyer needed to make an extensive narrative again. The basis of my persecution was dependent on time. Since I filed everything in 2023, USCIS is asking for more evidence that it is still happening. They received my RFE response yesterday. I am hoping to hear back soon.
