Emergency - Is it possible to expedite our petition on the grounds of a family emergency

[rascalcat 28]

My fiance`s father has been in bad health for quite some time now. (He is has to have oxygen tanks at home).

My fiance called me from the U.S. about an hour ago to tell me that his dad has just had a stroke and is in hospital. We dont know yet how serious it might be. He may be in hospital for some time, and if does come out there is no guarantee that his health will be stable for much longer.

I am the beneficiary. We have a 1 year old son together who already has his U.S passport and is a U.S. citizen. I want my fiance`s father to be able to see his grandson more. As if he passes away sooner than expected, it is obviously going to devastate my fiance.. not just the fact that he would have passed away, but also the fact that that he never had the opportunity to spend time with his grandson.. who is named after him.

It is very tough and stressful for us right now, that i cant return to the U.S with our son to be together in such a difficult time.

We have been waiting for 7 months so far for the NOA2 from CSC, and it could take 10+ months just for the NOA 2. We really need the process to hurry now and move along to the next stage, as i would like my son to be able to spend time with his grandfather before its too late.

During the visits me and my fiance made to his parents house while our son and i was in the U.S,.. it really made such a strong positive impact on my fiance`s father`s health. He really loves seeing his grandson and is very proud that he is named after him.

Also, my fiance was attached to the U.S. Army and was in the U.S. Marines with honorable discharge. (Landing Support Battalion, 1st FSSG/3rdFSSG, January 1998-1992) Would this help expedite our case at all?

We cant afford to fly back to the U.S. until i get my visa.. as we only have enough in savings to make the trip after my visa is issued.

I did consider flying over before.. and even more so now that his father has had a stroke! However we need the funds for the trip with my visa in hand + the visa fees etc.

I really hope my future father-in-law gets better. I want to be able to see him again with our son.

Active duty military only for any type of military expedite. so being discharged isn't going to get help from that.

But you certainly can try based on the fathers condition. You will need to request an expedite and send them all the information with doctors notes etc.

It is worth a try through USCIS and if that fails try requesting a senator to expedite (hopefully, your senator has some compassion). Hope it works out!
