This was long ago now but thank you everyone for your help. At what felt like the last minute one of my siblings donated to a kidney to my husband and they are both -finally- doing great! I am grateful that it worked out for us that KS to the generosity of my brother and the grace of God but I am frustrated that the US did not approve travel visas for 3 weeks so that my husband's siblings could donate to him (an American citizen) to save his life despite being granted the emergency visa interview with the medical documentation we submitted, and each having jobs, children and a stable international travel history. Meanwhile, we know of others who have walked across the border with no permission and receive apartment/schooling/hospital benefits/food etc. It makes one lose what little faith one might have had in the immigration system. I know that visas are not guaranteed but you would hope that for a medical emergency they would be approved. I thought we were done messing with visas and permissions after citizenship. (For my husband we are but needed to try to figure out which things we could do to help his siblings be present to donate) I hope anyone who sees this seriously considers becoming an organ donor!

Hi everyone, Mr. Daisy became a US citizen through a k1 a few years ago - thank you all for your help. I'm coming back with another question for you. Mr. Daisy has a rare really aggressive autoimmune disease that affects his kidneys. It is not the traditional kidney disease where sometimes dialysis is an effective time buyer while you wait for a donor kidney. He went from "fine, slightly high bp" to where we are now (level 5 kidney failure) in less than one year. We knew he was sick but Mayo Clinic this week gave him 6 months if we can't find a donor. This is after we're doing EVERYTHING possible to slow this down. Family is the most likely shot at a match and we have lots of family volunteers in the DR that are possible matches. but the processing time for a B2 is longer than he has. We have tons of documentation and I'm hoping this qualifies for a medical expedite for them to come and get tested/possibly donate in the same visit. Is there any guide for an emergency medical B2 visa of what or how to submit for an expedite? I am looking but some of the links I've found don't work and I don't want to do it wrong. Is it just a normal B2? If so, how do I request an expedite? I apologize is this is somewhere on here that I've missed. My brain about to go crazy. At least one of my husband's siblings is a very possible match -we're testing OOP as much as possible in the DR with plans to repeat in the US- and already applied for a tourist visa a few months ago for unrelated (wanting to visit) reasons but the appt is several months away. Is there a way to request an expedite of this existing B2 application? Our last ditch scenario is to attempt it in the DR but my husband is deteriorating really fast and is currently fragile. Doctors would never let him travel but if we ignored them and did anyway it would be really dangerous...and we'd have to start all over there with the transplant evaluation and I don't know if we have enough time. 😞 Thanks everyone in advance.
