Request to expedite I-130 petition

[Tahuti 7]

I am a Canadian and my spouse is a US LPR.

 

we’re looking to expedite our petition for emergency reasons.

 

one reason being, we are threatened by the Canadian government for invoking the emergencies act.

 

we believe democracy is currently being tested and threatened in Canada and that communism lingers.

 

the government has fallen to be authoritarian, totalitarian, tyrannical, and communist to a large degree.

 

history.state.gov/milestones/1945-1952/truman-doctrine
“ With the Truman Doctrine, President Harry S. Truman established that the United States would provide political, military and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from external or internal authoritarian forces. ”

 

what are your thoughts on this?

 

can this request negatively effect our petition?

 

( professional response only )

 

thank you!

An expedite request will not harm your case.......but I don't see what you posted as meeting the criteria.  What would you use as justification documentation?  You are free to request it.

I'm Canadian (but living in the US) and none of my friends and family in Toronto have mentioned the Canadian govt "falling to communism" so this is news to me. I guess I should message them and let them know. As Crazy Cat said, asking for an expedite is fine but USCIS is gonna ask for hard evidence of everything you said here.

I’m thankful for the info Crazy Cat, please see the attached file.

 

i have 2 letters written, one by me and my spouse.

 

we have additional reasons why we need the petition expedited. That being severe financial loss to 2 people and a company if it’s not expedited.

 

let me know what you think of the additional evidence.

 

thanks again!

None of this is evidence that the Canadian government is threatening and targeting YOU specifically.

You need to focus on how you have been impacted although this looks more like a. Asylum claim

I was thinking the very same thing.

[Ontarkie 13,957]

I've been watching the Truckers convoy and live streams I completely understand where you are coming from. With Trudeau revoking the Emergency act your claim will not hold as it is no longer active. On top of that Montreal seldom and I mean very seldom expedites visas for Spouses of USC never mind someone who is a Permanent resident. Plus the way they are issuing  DS-5535 like wild fire I wouldn't expect getting a visa anytime soon even after an expedite. Where are you in the process? 

[randy32 165]

Just an FYI depending on where you get your info from, I will bet you that there are articles like those referenced printed about the US also.

And as already mentioned, review the acceptable reasons for which to request an expedite.

TBH, don’t think you’ll get expedited in F2A category and there’s also backlog going back to 2020 for immigration interviews all over the world. Even pre-Covid Montreal was behind with immigrant visas so I’d buckle up and wait. Canadian spouse should get an appropriate job and not do anything to relinquish residence, job, education, medical insurance until visa in hand - same disclaimer all immigrants are given by DoS.

You can try. It’s free. 
Do I think you’ll be successful? Unfortunately, no. 

The PDF you posted is a summary of events. It doesn’t explain how your claims affect your life, so in my humble opinion they’re not even going to consider it.

I don’t think these references would suffice. I haven’t gone to each particular link to see whether there were some reporter/editors opinion or based on governmental documents. 
 

To prove something like this you would need something equivalent to senate discussions, laws being enacted to the above effect, etc. 

 

but generally agree with above comments, changes in political landscape relate more to asylum rather than a reason to expedite.

Lots of people file an I-130, then realize that the process can take 1-2 years, especially in Canada where there is a huge backlog at the Montreal consulate, and so start to search for a way to speed it up.  Some try an expedite, if USCIS approves it, great, but this case seems very unlikely to be approved given the circumstances and the country where these protests were taking place.  Canada is still viewed as a relatively free country by most in the world.  Focus more on the financial loss to the US LPR if you have documentation to support that.  Good luck with the expedite request and the long wait during the spousal visa process to play out.
