How do i apply for emergency spouse visa?

[Davie92 46]

Hello, how is everyone making out with this lock down? It isn't going great for me.. I heard about the emergency visa and i would like to get help on how to apply for one..

My spouse visa was under review since February 2020, after my interview which i was told to submit joint sponsor, and they accepted it and within a week, they requested for our chat log which i sent by march 3rd before the lockdown started. And since  then, the case has been updated many times of which April 30th was the last date..

The reason for this emergency visa is because my spouse is going in for a surgery, she already had similar surgery in january which i was hoping that i could be with her by February.

Can i get an emergency visa to go be with her to recover through this surgery? as she lives alone and has no close family or relatives who can be with her? I'm so sad...

Did her doctor write a recommendation that you should be with her for recovery? You need proof to back up your emergency.

Haven't gotten the papers, but yes, dr recommends that.

To be honest since you already had the interview and you weren't approved on the spot because of your own fault (not submitting documents) I don't know if you can request an expedite any longer as you are in AP.... but

 

If you feel you meet the following requirements then contact the embassy.

 

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.

Apply. You never know until they say "No". Worth trying

Are you saying that they requested a joint sponsor, and you did not provide one because you think you don't need one?  Evaluating the risk of becoming a public charge is discretionary per the VO, and not up to the applicant to determine.

 

If this is the case,  you will not get the visa, 'emergency' or not.

OMG, if only you would read.. 

I have fulfilled that purpose and submitted a joint sponsor and they have accepted that.. 
Kindly read my question again.
It's not up to to say who gets a visa or not without understanding my question..

I did read.  You said it was requested and then you said "I didn't require any joint sponsor because my wife makes enough."

It seems your visa is stuck in administrative processing, which cannot be expedited.

The time this process takes depends on the consulate/embassy you were interviewed at. In general it should take 60 days from the time they received the additional evidence to take a decision, but it is clear it has taken more in your case.

Check with your consulate/embassy directly regarding the current status of your case.

And browse around the forum looking for "administrative processing". You will find other cases and better advise.

So I just saw- you are from Nigeria?! You aren't getting a visa right now. There is a ban on immigrant visas from Nigeria.Were you not aware of this?

Well this took an unexpected turn. I was just going to suggest that the petitioner (not beneficiary) contacts the embassy along with proof of surgery, doctor recommendation etc but this changes everything.

Sorry OP, I don’t believe there’s anything that can be done at the moment.
