Hi,

I also posted this in the NVC subforums since I was not sure where it belongs. Please delete the incorrect thread. 
 

I submitted an NVC Expedite on June 12 for the US Embassy in Abu Dhabi. My expedite was based on a life-and-death situation. My doctor wrote a fantastic letter, indicating the petitioner’s condition (Me) is deteriorating rapidly and life-threatening. He provided his letter, assessment and prescription information.
 

And yet, Abu Dhabi rejected it… I am at a loss of words…how can I prove the severity of the situation??? Please if you have any advice, I would really appreciate it. My only thought is to get another doctor to write a letter and request another expedite with both letters.

What are you trying to expedite?

What sort of case are you trying to expedite? Is this for your spouse?

Boiler wasn't asking the reason for the expedite, they are asking what part of the process/type of visa you are trying to expedite.

Life threatening is a hard one

its like shooting yourself in the foot 

makes it seem u may not be around for the unification with the spouse

 

She lives in Iran so u may be looking at long AP after the interview for additional security

Did you seek an expedite based on the above as well?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I just wondered of the two had been linked.

 

From a practical perspective with an expedite it is by definition discretionary and they can approve or not, as was mentioned above Iranian cases generally go into longer review even after the interview so nothing will happen quickly.

I figured being Iranian already resulted in a huge setback…thanks anyways 🙏

Now that your wife is a US citizen, she must submit an I-130 for the Son.  His is now a separate case from your case. There are no derivatives for immediate relatives of a US citizen.  Derivatives are allowed for F2a cases. That is why your son no longer has a case. She must now file an I-130 for the son, then she should contact NVC and the consulate to hold your case until the son's I-130 is approved. 

 

Note to other F2A filers:  Do not naturalize while an F2a case is in progress if derivatives are included. Wait until after your family has entered the US. 

If I knew we wouldn't have done the update now until after the interview

Physician's letter and reasoning was denied.  Why would another letter with the same condition make any difference?  If I was at Abu Dhabi, I would flag your case as being suspicious/desperate and take more time to investigate when the interview is scheduled.

 

Also, life threatening can mean the petitioner may not be able to sponsor the immigrant.
