Your condition was on dr Pimple Popper the other day - no antibiotics, she treated the person with steroid shots in inflamed area and it was successful.

I’ve had it all it keeps returning rapidly so the area under my arm has to be completely removed

I know nothing about the expedite process or your condition...but looking at it from an outsider’s perspective, I don’t understand your reason for an expedite...and my worry would be, if USCIS don’t understand it either, it’ll presumably be rejected...

 

I understand you’re having surgery...but millions of people have surgery every day, so that’s not really a special case...

 

If you were filing under the financial hardship category, because this illness has left you unable to work, that would make sense (though I’ve no idea how it works in that respect, as surely when an immigrant first arrives, they cost money rather than make money - in fact, I don’t know if this category is even an option at this stage).

 

If you were filing because you need your partner there to care for you, because you’ll  be incapacitated and there is no one in America that can care for you, that would make sense (though I think that would be a hard one to convince them of).

 

If you were filing because you’re terminally ill and have limited time left, I’d understand that, from a humanitarian perspective.

 

But yes, I don’t really understand your reasons (the way I read it, it doesn’t really sound like you have a reason). As I said, I don’t know anything about the expedite process or the categories, but I’m fairly confident they will need a clear, justifiable reason to accept your expedite - and unless I’m not reading your posts correctly, I’m not seeing one?

OP, I do hope you get the surgery you need and the relief from the pain. 

 

I know personally of someone who was approved for an expedite for medical reasons. The USC was in advanced liver failure and awaiting a transplant. The case was expedited do that the family member (his minor child) could be reunited with her father as his death was a very realistic possibility. I always use this as my yardstick for what kind of reasons will see an approved expedite. 

 

There have been claims on here of expedites being granted for pregnancy or minor medical situations but without knowing the specifics it’s hard to say why they were approved (if indeed they were). 

 

My understanding that “humanitarian reasons” is for people whose lives are at risk where they are due to war or persecution.

i have the same thing though not severe.

 

i seriously doubt your case will be expedited on that

i agree, I think you must be on your death bed for USCIS to expedite your request for medical reasons.

 

You must be given last rites for your expedite to be approved.

I was in treatment for cancer when we were applying for a CR-1, but it was not in my opinion a reason for expedition.  

 

I believe "Humanitarian reasons" is for more of a spouse who is in a country that is at war, or being threatened.   Not really for the person to come to the US for surgery. 

 

Heck, they even grilled my husband on him potentially being a financial burden to the state for his medical costs.  (Even though he was insured in America, and from Denmark, who has free healthcare)

Typical axillary HS surgery isn't incapacitating. It's usually a 1 to 2 hour outpatient surgery at my hospital. Sometimes an overnight stay for pain control. Most folks are back at work in a week or two.

You can  definitely  Request for an expedite on your petition. You only have to provide evidence regarding your request. USCIS did expedite my petition without us asking to because they knew that my son needed a  surgery and I had to be with him during his surgery. It took two months to get my CR1 visa even though that my nationality is under the travel ban. USCIS can be helpful if you do provide them the right documents. Hope you can get your expedite approved.

Yes I’ve sent in all documentation letters from the doctors and also pictures of my flare ups my case is more severe then others that have HS everyone’s body is different and react differently for things. People can be so negative sometimes why we just can’t hope the best for everyone situation and cases. Thank you for your uplifting comment.
