My wife's family wants to get visas to come visit us (from Peru). Her parents I am not worried about at all as they both have career jobs, have a house, bunch of property, etc. However her brother only works for his dad and lives at their house. He had brain surgery last year to remove a tumor and has occasional seizures when he gets lax on his medication. My wife's mom does not want to leave him alone as she has to be there for him although he is generally healthy. Does this factor in at all in the application process? Obviously he doesn't have a case for "strong ties to the country". My wife got rejected for visitor visas twice before our K1, so they are worried about it. Not sure if any other visas would qualify if they wanted to get him looked at by a doctor here (want to see if there is any kind of other medication he could take). But their main goal is just to visit us so don't want to come across as untruthful to the embassy. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks so much for this! I had filed AP long ago with the AOS and it never went anywhere. Thought I would have to start a whole new one for the emergency situation I find myself in now, but glad to see that's not the case.

We filed for adjustment of status last December, biometrics in January and just waiting for news on the green card. Yesterday my wife's brother in Peru fainted and was taken to the ICU. Turns out he has a brain tumor the size of an egg and will have surgery to remove it this upcoming Wednesday. Would this be grounds for an emergency Advanced Parole to be with their family? The closest field office to me is about 3 and half hours away, from what I'm reading you have to go there for an interview and to get the documents? Are you able to travel immediately after receiving?
