I-130 Expedite chance (Humanitarian And Financial Reasons)

[S2N 682]

Also contact your senator/congressman’s office to see if they can apply pressure after you request the expedite.

When I was going through the process to bring my husband over to the states, I applied for an expidited request with USCIS.  It took OVER 4 MONTHS for USCIS to respond back to my request, which they ultimately denied. Being that your wife's condition is not considered "life or death" you will most likely be denied. 

 

I hate to sound harsh here, but due to the bad financial situation you and your wife are both in, I'd be in no hurry to get past the USCIS phase of the immigration process.  Once you get to the NVC part of the process, finances are going to come into play in determining if you will be issued the CR-1/IR-1 visa. You will not be granted a visa if the Department of State believes you will be a burden on US taxpayers. If your wife were to come back to the states and be put on Medicaid for her health issues, then she would be receiving tax payer funded benefits. Someone who is on tax payer funded benefits is not financially stable enough to support their immigrant spouse. She would have to get a family member to co-sponsor you which would put them on the hook to financially support you for 10 years.  That is a big thing to ask of a family member.

First of all, thank you very much for your comment. Yes, after all my research and what I've seen, I realized that the possibility of expediting my I-130 is very low. Still, I've already submitted my application and can't withdraw it. Even if it's not approved, I don't regret trying my luck. At least I can say I tried.

 

As for the financial aspect, as I mentioned, I have family members who can provide financial support, and most importantly, we have a joint sponsor. So, we understand that this issue has been mentioned repeatedly, but this is already the most critical point of the immigration process, and we are aware of that.

 

Despite all this, thank you for your comment. I hope everything goes well for us, but even if Expedite isn't approved, at least we can be happy that we tried. Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. So yeah hahahah

After a long time I just came back for updating this post with results

 

We sent this Expedite Request from 3 Channels

 

 

1 ) Directly To USCIS - They even not processed it because it is not enough evidence.

 

2 ) Embassy (DCF) - We just ask permission to embassy for Filling Petition from Embassy Local filling. They not accepted that.

 

3 ) Congressman Office - We just contacted Senator office they contacted USCIS after like a 20 days USCIS rejected because they do not think it is Eligible for Expedite they directly sent Main link.

 

However in the end Sleeve Gastroectamy Or Other kind of bariatric surgeries are not reason for expedite as we can see if someone ever see this topic yep it is my results. However we are still on normal waiting line and in the end we got approved so I'll wait I Already got hope and it is enough Thanks Y"all

Hello, I had to bring this topic up again after a long time. First, I would like to share the latest developments. Unfortunately, after USCIS denied our request, things did not get better and actually got worse. My wife was diagnosed with pancreatitis and gallbladder sludge. At my wife's request, we came to Mexico to see some family members, and while we were here, the situation got even worse. My wife's pancre infection is still ongoing, and now she has gallstones. When we consulted our doctor, the initial date was January 2026, and our doctor stated that my wife could not make a long flight. Therefore, my wife cannot return to Turkey with me. I contacted the airline and got a refund for the ticket and explained the situation to them. I still have the approval letter they sent me as proof.

 

During our second doctor's visit in February, unfortunately, the doctor said my wife needed gallbladder removal surgery and that her pancreatitis needed to be monitored. At this point, my wife has to undergo a second surgery, and the doctor said she won't be able to work for a while. I'm returning to Turkey on May 15, and she'll be returning to America. She can't come with me because she can't make a long flight, and that's the only reason I got a refund for the plane ticket. At this point, we obtained the initial report from our doctor, a letter stating that the airline accepted the refund, and another doctor's report detailing the current situation. My husband also wrote a letter of intent regarding this matter. We will resubmit our Expedite request because, at this point, this is now an urgent situation for us and will create difficulties not only health-wise but also financially, as my husband will need financial support in the US and I need to join him as soon as possible.

 

What are your thoughts on this? I will revise the necessary documents and send another Expedite request to USCIS explaining the situation, but I am worried. Do you think it will be accepted because this time the situation is much more critical and serious than the first time?

 

Please excuse my English writing mistakes. It was a very long text, and I didn't want to go through it line by line, so I used a translation tool.

It is free to apply for an expedite as far as success is concerned I do not see what has really changed.

 

Good that she is returning to obtain treatment, the Mexico side trip just seems to have wasted time.
