Hi.

Can we expedite CR1 on the basis of previous K1 denial at US embassy Islamabad, is this a good reason to expedite?

If yes then what documents should we submit to NVC for expedite request?

Typically expedite requests are made on the basis of hardship to the USC.  That being said, you can always try, but previous K1 denials do not seem like a good basis for an expedite.

 

If you want to try, and your case is at NVC, it appears this is what you would do to request an expedite.  Though not exactly the same situation as your visa would certainly be available it does show you need to submit a letter/statement to the linked site requesting the expedite.

 

Good Luck!

 

I have been waiting for a very long time for my relative to get an immigrant visa. Now there is a family emergency and I need my relative to immigrate soon to the U.S. Can NVC help me?

If a visa is available for your relative’s category, and their case involves a life or death medical emergency, processing of your case may be expedited. To request a review for expedite, please submit a scanned letter (or statement) using the Public Inquiry Form to NVC from a physician (or medical facility). The letter must include the physician’s (or medical facility’s) contact information, and declare a life or death medical emergency exists.

I am very much in favour of expediting, not sure I see the reason in this case, could you expand.

I don't see that reason, alone, fits the criteria for expedite.....but it seems most everyone is submitting expedite requests these days.  It does no harm to try.

I have heard that the Islamabad embassy itself sometimes tell the applicant to go for an expedited CR1 if they decide they are too married for K1 and denies the visa.

 

I am not sure if this is an actual acceptable reason at USCIS or is something that the embassy staff tells the applicant to lessen the blow from the bad news of the denial.

Well this is not just an Islamabad issue, assuming of course this was the reason

 

I have not come across this, but I will hold my hands up and say I do not see everything.

Just one addition I did not add in my initial response, it appears that the USC spouse would actually request the expedite.

 

Good Luck!
