Hello, I need idea. I filed my petition for my spouse and step-daughter and requested for expedite. They ask me to fax supporting document which have done two weeks ago. But uptil now, no updates. Anyone can assist me of what to do and how does it normally work. My wife was previously pregnant and had a still-birth because of complications. Now she is pregnant again and I am fear of loosing another baby.

If she's currently pregnant and had complications before, is international travel a good idea? May be better for her to stay where she is until after the birth. 

 

Have you called to check the progress of your request?

I'm very sorry for your previous loss, and that your wife is facing undue stress again while pregnant.  I cannot begin to even imagine the pain and suffering you both went through with the passing of your first child.

 

Unfortunately, I do agree with Transborderwife in that you most likely will not be approved for the expedited service since it cannot be proven without a doubt that immigration proceedings would cause a miscarriage/pregnancy complications.

 

I wish you well, and you are in my thoughts.

But it is extreme medical issue as my country does not have facilities to safe delivery. We have lots of infant mortality

US will not take that into account since it involves another country entirely, and citizens of another country (your wife and unborn child).

I wish I could tell you different, but I can't.

 

I know it's stressful and worrisome and you want the best for your wife and child.  It may be better for you to go to Sierra Leone for a bit leading up to the birth to ease her stress levels.

Unfortunately uscis sees it as you choose to have a child at this time, no skin off of their teeth

I feel really sorry for her past loss, and I hope for a safe and healthy child.

 

But by that logic, every pregnancy would qualify for an expedite from your country (and many others). The past complications are very unlikely to change this.
