IV Emergency Appointment Criteria

[stech786 229]

I am trying to see if I could request for an emergency interview which was cancelled last week. I do have an emergency, but don't if I even meet the criteria below. Can some explain that in simple English

 

 

IV Emergency Appointment Criteria

• IR4 “adoptees"
• Boarding foils for LPRs who have lost their LPR cards
• To request an emergency appointment send a message via https://pk.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-inquiries/

Ir4 are orphans adopted by USC's

 

People who have lost their Green Cards and need a boarding foil to get back to the US

so other than that, no emergency is considered? 

 

a member of my family who works at hospital treating Covid-19 patient had their Nanny just quit. No one is home to watch kids. and hard to find Nanny as soon they find out parents work at hospital. my parents had their Kidney transplant 6 months ago. Since I am the sole income provider at home & if anything happens to me (hope not!). it would be a loss. I was hoping maybe my wife can help us with support. Will that consider an emergency?

 

my parents are not going outside for anything. I have help them out for any emergency needs (grocery for 1 wk). they are 75+ yrs. Need full care at times

 

 

thanks

I would not have thought so.

is it worth to try it? I'm here in the states, this issue isn't going away for months. 😞

Free to try.

I wouldn't have thought so. Consular services at all embassies are closed.  Embassy emergency services are for US citizens traveling overseas.

 

Someone's nanny quitting is not an emergency.

No harm in asking, but I would not be hopeful as the reason stated does not match the emergency criteria right now.

Also note that extended AP is possible and cannot be expedited.

It’s not the only Nanny replacement I was looking for. But to provide me a mental support so I can financially provide support to family. I have to run errands for both family. Fearful that anything can happen to my parents if they come in contact with someone. Keeping eyes on kids, my working, errands, scares me

Again, it is free to try.  But I would say none of that counts towards grounds for expedite.

Women end up in AP also.  Plus:  isn't it for Pakistan?

I get that. And I understand the difficulties.

That said, the vast majority of spousal cases probably fall into that set of circumstances right now. Most people (immigrant or not) with living parents still are having to watch for them and run errands....while still working, taking care of kids (if any), etc. It's an unusual and hard time right now.

AP can apply to anyone. Background checks? Missing document? Need to verify documents? There's a whole bunch of possible reasons.

I think this is Pakistan.

Yup, I understood from the OP's link.

Why are you looking at immigrant visa emergency criteria if you are in the US?

What are you trying to expedite?
