Expedite

If someone’s life is in danger, does this provide grounds to expedite the NVC process?

[geowrian 22,335]

It certainly can, depending on the circumstances and documentation. Request it, provide documentation, and hope for the best.

life is in danger according to who?

 

if she is critically ill and has medical paperwork to back that up, it may.

 

if she lives in a bad neighborhood, it would not.

Okay. Specific people have given death threats that they want to kill. The human rights was involved in dealing with these people. A statement could be gotten here as proof?

You can ask for it at the NVC but then you need to ask again or "remind" at the Consulate.

What do you mean to remind at the consulate?

This is from the USCIS website:

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/how-make-expedite-request

 

USCIS may consider an expedite request if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

• Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner’s or applicant’s failure to:
  1. File the benefit request or the expedite request in a reasonable time frame, or
  2. Respond to any requests for additional evidence in a reasonably timely manner;
• Urgent humanitarian reasons;
• Compelling U.S. government interests (such as urgent cases for the Department of Defense or DHS, or other public safety or national security interests); or
• Clear USCIS error.

Expediting at NVC does not mean that the Consulate processes it any faster.   In fact in some cases it seems to take longer.  Look at @John & Rose CR1.

realize anyone could write a death threat for someone to help them get asylum or expediated process

the burden of proof for this is not that easy to come by 

there are hundreds of thousands who live under the threat of death every day 

it would be great if we could help the whole world 

 

get your proof together and try is the best you can do

It would be evidence. Whether it would be enough or not is a decision for the IO. Every expedite is discretionary.

An expedite at NVC means the embassy/consulate that will process the case makes a decision. The quoted text above is for USCIS only.

I was under the impression that when a file left NVC for the embassy that it was next in line for an interview. I’ll take a look at their timeline.

YMMV but "normally" the NVC sets the interview for a case.   In an expedite the beneficiary goes online to the select an appointment after the NVC completes their portion.  That is harder than it seems as you are looking at cancellations of other appointment to fill your date.   We had the same issue in our DCF which skips the NVC.

Okay. I understand what you’re saying now.

A Police Report would no doubt help. Was this covered by the Media?
