Curious

Hi everyone,

I just got a call from my Dr. and the news is somewhat depressing. I need to go in for a biopsy and I am freaking out. If it comes back with even worse news would I be able to apply for an emergency application to have my husband here with me for the surgery? What would I need to do if this ends up being the case?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Not feeling good

Nattie

I pray everything will be ok with you, but yes if for some reason you need surgery and/or hospitalization you can ask to EXPEDITE your case calling USCIS, and of course have proof of that. Praying for you.

Thanks everyone!! It is very personal, so I am not wanting to discuss in full detail at this time. However, I want to prepare myself just in case. Hearing the news and not having any family or many friends makes it hard to deal with this alone :( .... It is just me and my daughter (6) and I will not be sharing this with her, she is way to young and I don't want her to be stressed about mommy being sick. I never thought this would happen. I need my husband today, just for a HUG and a hand. Need him her to help me through this. Anyone know what forms I need to investigate?

Thanks Again for the Prayer,

Nattie

We dont have the same visa filed - but did you try speaking to USCIS and ask them what is needed?

I am sorry to hear about your situation, I know what it is like to suffer from medical problems and still have to raise kids alone.

Don't give up hope that the biopsy comes back fine

In the mean time, you can prepare to request an expedite. I have quoted the USCIS page on requesting expedites below.

I requested an expedite with my CR1 petition but that was over a year ago now. You should call USCIS to inquire how to properly submit the request. I basically sent a written request based on my qualifying criteria and provided documentation to back up my claim. (medical records). After I submitted my request I went to my Congressman for assistance in getting my petition expedited. I don't know how much effect the congressman had, but they were helpful to me in making sure I had the correct documentation and best chances for approval. My request to expedite was approved within a week I think.

Expedite Criteria

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met. The criteria are as follows:

Severe financial loss to company or individual

Extreme emergent situation

Humanitarian situation

Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States

Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)

USCIS error

Compelling interest of USCIS

Note: Discretionary expedite requests for petitions and applications that have Premium Processing Service available will not be considered for expedite processing. The only exception is when the petitioner is a not-for-profit organization designated by the Internal Revenue Service. For information regarding premium processing, please refer to the premium processing webpage.

If you have already filed your application or petition:

You can make an expedite request by contacting the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283. The NCSC will take a “service request” and forward your expedite request to the office with jurisdiction over the application or petition. You also have the options of 1). visiting your local office by scheduling an InfoPass appointment or 2). writing a letter to the local office or service center.
