I don't know if any of you know my story. Anyway I got married and filed for USCIS on the 17 th of August 2018. We got approved by USCIS on the 14th of August 2019. We haven't got the Nvc number yet even if our status on USCIS website changed to Sent to Department of State.

In the meanwhile. After we got married my husband had a relapse of an autoimmune disease he suffered.He had been okay for more than 30 years (first bout at 22yrs old). The relapse brought an increase of symptoms. He has got UCTD. He has tried to work so hard these months. But now he can't walk anymore. He is filing for Social Security Disability.

His parents who are willing to cosponsor us should meet the requirements. But my husband is so worried he screwed up the immigration process. On top of being alone, facing a debilitating disease.

How do I feel? I don't know where to start.

I just wanted to ask you if you think we have any possibility at all at this point. 

 

We are feeling so discouraged.

So sorry to hear.  Hopefully, he will be able to walk and work after this current flare of UCTD. Please keep us updated on your case. ❤️

I'm sorry to hear about the medical issues with your spouse. He didn't mess up the immigration process and based on the medical issues he is facing it may be worth while requesting an expedite at the NVC for medical hardship so you can be with your spouse faster. Based on everything you said he could qualify. You are fine with a cosponsor, shouldn't be a problem if their income is good. Best of wishes for you and your spouse.
