Any thoughts on this please. My wife is in an area which is experiencing severe flooding.. To get her out of there would this qualify for an expedited processing of her CR-1 visa. Thoughts please. I am really worried for her safety.

Right now, yes, but the flooding has just started. No electricity at this time and I have lost all communication with her.

This is nothing new in these Asian countries during the monsoon season and will not be accepted as a valid reason for expedite but you could always try. Many of us have lived with this all our lives and know how to get thru it.

Sitting here in Cebu this morning, I am watching the news and parts of Luzon are experiencing flooding. In fact parts of Manila are flooded, with businesses and schools closed. I'm sorry you have lost contact with your wife. I think in a day or 2 things will get better and hopefully you can regain contact with her. For those of you that have girlfriends or wives going to Manila for medical or interview, this time of year can be unpredictable as far as weather, as we are in full monsoon season, with rain and an occasional typhoon. The people here have been through this many times, so I wouldn't worry. In a day or 2 things will get better and you will hear from her.

Flooding doesn't count for expedite. If she managed to live here her whole life, a few more months of typhoons and "habagats" wouldn't hurt.
