Do we have a real chance?

[Oko Vicki 53]

Sad news!!! Yesterday September 3rd, my wife had a car wreck with a 5yo baby girl in the car. Initial update I got was fractured bone in the lower leg. 
However, half an hour ago I got new updates; both ankles were fractured and needing surgery - she is in surgery right this moment -, she has fractures to cervical and thoracic vertebrae, fractured sternum, 3 fractured ribs and a collapsed right lower lobe of her lung. 
My questions are; do we have real chance for an expedite approval? Who files it, USC or I the beneficiary? What documents do we need to attach? Do I wait till she gets out of surgery and can talk before acting? Please I need your advices. What should we do??? 
Appreciate your enlightenments.

Is this for your waiver?

[carmel34 3,529]

If your case is at NVC, your USC wife should contact NVC regarding an expedite for your visa interview in Lagos.  They will likely ask for documentation showing hardship to her if your visa interview is not expedited.  The issue of your past misrepresentation will likely come up at the visa interview, whenever that happens, so be prepared for an additional delay at that point, it will be up to the CO if you are eligible for a waiver or not.  Sorry to hear about the accident.  Good luck!

I am sorry to hear about her injuries.  Your wife can request an expedite based on hardship.  However, your past issues are likely to result in heavy scrutiny and extended administrative processing, imo.  I would not make any travel arrangements.......expedite does not mean fast in the world of immigration.

Very sorry for your wife

but wondering how u think she will file for expedite anything in her condition

here even if she wanted to do this thru a lawyer ,  in my area,  hospital allow 1 visitor on list to see the patient in hospital (i would imagine that to be a family member here) / all that because we still have a covid crisis

fracture to thoracic vertebrae (that's her neck)  and all the other injuries /  Lord the poor woman is inmobile

If you get an interview and are approved ,then come , find a job and help  (but understand Nigeria beneficaries are often in long long AP after any interview and nothing here will happen fast especially with the former false divorce paper)

Give this poor woman a chance to heal according to you this is gonna take a lot of surgeries and time

For CR1 case at NVC level. We are leaving the waiver decision to CO.

Thank you. I expect the misrepresentation issue to come up at interview, I’m prepared for it. To your first sentence, after post surgery recovery we will discuss it. 
Documentation showing hardship will be doctor’s note, yeah?

Thank you. No travel arrangements intended until visa is in hand. I just want to know what to do and how to go about the expedite request.

Thank you. Ofc she needs the time to heal but it’s killing me being here helpless and worrying myself to death not able to be there for my wife. My parents are the ones keeping me sane since this incident happened, even my mother is hit hard as I have observed. 

Will discuss with her when she’s fit enough to talk. I will handle everything and send the request with her email provided she’s able to get someone to scan the required supporting documents to me. 
Thanks again.

you can not request this

has to be done by USC

the expedite is for her problems and she has to give the evidence to support it

 

she is getting the best care here in the US and at this time she needs doctors 

 

would you have a dl for her state?

a car to drive?

be able to see her if she already has the 1 visitor we are allowed into hospital?

a job to help with finances?

the means to be added to her health care insurance?

 

Right now the emphasis needs to be on her getting the care she needs 

 

sorry for your issues but right now she comes 1st

Chances are slim and none. In any case what do you have to lose? Go for it!

The only thing you can do is ask. No one here will be able to tell you, one way or the other, how it will turn out.

he can't 

USC has to do this

NVC seem to picking up speed. Unless month or 2 makes a huge difference in your situation. Just go with regular processing without complicating things with expediting
