Request to expedite

[Liz_D 0]

I would like to know if anyone has successfully filed to expedite a petition and how you did it. I know petitions are taken on a case by case basis so I am wondering if my case might meet the criteria and how I can go about pleading my case to immigration. My fiance was here for a month on a tourist visa for the birth of our son. He had to leave again on February 29th. We are due to hear something on our case by the middle of April according to the timeline. Our son has some medical issues and I would like to have our case expedited so his father can be here with me. Our son has some problems with his breathing which we are currently treating and trying to find out the cause of. He has acid reflux which may be causing all of his problems, but at our next pulmonology appointment they will decide if he needs to have a bronchoscopy to check his lungs to see if something is going on there. He has to have a sweat test for cystic fibrosis, which is very unlikely that he has, but they are doing it to rule it out. I took him to the doctor today and the doctor heard a heart murmur. He will have an echocardiogram to check his heart. Everyone tells me that he is going to be fine and I would never make his problems sound worse than they are. It is just extremely stressful to have our newborn going through so many tests and having these health problems. I can't do this alone. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be very helpful. Thanks.

Very sorry to hear on your child conditions.

As you mentioned the expedite request is case by case basis. You can always try to do an expedite based on the medical condition. Just make sure to get the letter from the doctor in writing explaining this conditions. Also not that if granted at USCIS, you will have to request a separate one in NVC and embassy, as they don't get transferred over.

I really hope that your child will get better my prayers goes to you and him, and hopefully you can get expedite approved.

Good luck.

Thank you for the well wishes. This is a very stressful time for me and I know my fiance is worried also. It is hard for both of us that he is so far away. Does anyone else have any advice about requesting to expedite our petition?
