Hi,

I am a Disabled veteran  from California in United States. I recently married my Polish girlfriend in Cyprus. she has a 9-year-old son, and his father has given her noterized written permission allowing his son to live with his mother anywhere in the world. my wife is also disabled due to multiple spinal surgeries. we where recently in an automobile accedent in Poland and my wife spent 8 days in the hospital, she neads another spinal operation due to the accedent, but her surgin said she should get it done at Stanford medical hospital. my medical insurence would cover her operation. i am living with her in Cyprus and we are trying to get a visa in Cyprus until we can go to Ventura California in the United States. I need to stay with her so i can help her with manual labor due to her back injury. I also need to get back to the United States for medical care due to Diabetes and heart issues. we have a letter from doctors stating that we both need medical care ASAP. besides our other disabilities, my wife and I are both hearing impaired, we both have multiple disabilities and we reley on each other to accomplish our dayly duties and responsabilities of her  9-year-old son. we also are surviving on mostly my  veteran disability income and the little income she gets. 

 

The questions i have are:

1. Can we get an expedited visa, due to the need for medical care?

2. what type of letter due we need from her ex-husband, in order for their son to travel to the United States?

3. can i file for their visa’s while we are living in Cyprus, Mexico, Poland, Romania, or some other country?

4. what type of visa do i file for her son?

 

Thank you for any help,

Matthew and Anna

Answers:

  1. You can request an expedite, no guarantee your request will be granted.
  2. Based on your post, you appear to already have this.
  3. Short answer, no.  Long answer, since you are living in Cyprus, reach out to the Embassy in Nicosia and request an exceptional filing stating the circumstances why you wish to do so.  They would then seek the approval of the USCIS overseas regional office for the area, if approval is given, then you could file in Cyprus.
  4. You file a second I-130 petition form and pay the fee.

I'm sorry for the accident you and your wife had.

 

1. you can expedited process with USCIS, and medical emergency is one of those criteria. In the next links you can check them: 

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/expedite-criteria

 

https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume1-PartA-Chapter12.html

 

Is important that you prepare letters explaining the situation of both of you, with all the caracteristics of the injuries, diseases and treatments that you and your wife needs. This will be supported with plenty of medical tests and letters with the diagnosis from the doctors, were they explaining how important if that you or her get the treatment/surgeries ASAP.

Attach all this to the first package (I-130) you will send to start the application for both of them.
