F2A - Expedite advise

[DD17 0]

Hello, 

I am petitioning my husband and we are now documentary approved since December of 2020. We are still waiting for the interview date. We are unsure of when or how long will still need to wait. I am thinking of requesting to expedite the interview date but unsure if the only reason that I will have is that we wanted to start a family and we are getting older plus I do have a hormonal disorder which will take a while to get pregnant. Is that a valid reason to process the expedite? How do we go about requesting it? 

 

Thank you all for your help.

Yeah, that is not a reason to expedite.  You have to wait your turn, like everyone else, unfortunately.

We're pretty much in the same boat, except the roles are reversed (I am petitioning for my wife), and we've been DQ'ed since Aug 2020.

 

I submitted an expedite request sometime in November of last year and my reason was that we also wanted to start a family. I wrote at the request that we've had multiple miscarriages before while I was here in the US and my wife was in the Philippines, and that by having her here it would provide us with a better chance of having a baby due to the better health care system. I included everything - medical certificates, death certificate for the miscarriages, and the various medical abstracts we got from our OB-GYN. Unfortunately my request was denied.  

 

Don't fret though. You can always try to apply for an expedite request. It all depends on the local embassy (since they will be the one to review it). In my opinion, I don't think it would harm your case, and I've heard of stories of expedite requests getting approved for the shallower reason. It's your call though.

 

Hope that helps.
