USCIS discretion is random and vague. considering the situation it should qualify for expedited review based on financial hardship. Provide all the documents and hope for the best

No way to know without trying. As noted above, NVC will defer to the consulate, so the USCIS criteria doesn't apply. They approve/deny every case on a case by case basis.

 

Do you have a joint sponsor? The reason I ask is because you are requesting an expedite based upon a financial hardship so your spouse can support you, whereas the I-864 - if you are the sole sponsor - means you would be responsible for supporting him.

I would assume so since you noted you are a student (and you said your dad was supporting you), but just wanted to make sure.

Always expedite, you never know.

 

Presumably your Husband is working and can send you money.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
