Getting your case processed and getting your partner to the USA faster than average is not possible for most. 99% must wait in line like everyone else.
However in a few cases if a couple has a legitimate reason, US immigration will grant special treatment to expedite their case skipping to the head of the line.
US immigration may agree to expedite your case, for one of the following reasons:
Imminent US Military deployment
Medical Emergency
Imminent Danger
Fiancées Child in danger of ageing out
Extreme Hardship
Let’s talk about each in turn.
Imminent US Military deployment
If the American sponsor is on active duty, and has orders cut for deployment, or is in a category that faces immediate deployment on short notice, US immigration is willing to expedite the case so that the service man or woman has time to settle his partner in the USA before
deployment begins.
For such cases, we submit copies of deployment orders, or proof that the service men’s skill set was such even while no deployment was currently in the works, it might happen on short notice.
All imminent deployment type waiver requests we have submitted were granted.
Medical Emergency
What if you or your partner suffer a serious medical issue?

In some cases that would be deemed acceptable to allow expedited processing.
For example, perhaps your foreign partner has a condition that requires the type of medical assistance or expertise, only offered in the USA. One of VisaCoach’s clients needed treatment at the Mayo Clinic and her case was approved for expedite. And we have had cases where the US sponsor is hospitalized, and upon discharge needs full time home care
to aid in his recovery.
Imminent Danger
Imminent danger usually means that the foreign partner’s life is in danger.
This could be due to direct or indirect threats, civil unrest, and/ or natural disasters.
The more specific we can prove that the threat is personal to the individual, the better the chance the request for expedite will be granted.
Fiancées Child in danger of ageing out
When applying for a K1 fiance visa, the foreign fiancee’s children can be included in the same application. However the child is only considered a child until his or her 21’st birthday. This means the application process must be complete, the interview held, the visa issued, and the child on the
flight to USA before midnight on the 21’st birthday.
So if a case has been in process and it appears likely that the child will “age out”, US immigration will put that case ahead of the others in order to allow the fiance parent and children to arrive to USA together. Last summer at the height of Covid quarantines shut downs in Vietnam, we successfully not only got the consulate to expedite our case, but to allow the interview while
officially the consulate was closed and not providing any interviews.
Extreme Hardship
Extreme hardship, is a catchall category, that allows US immigration to expedite a case, to alleviate the extreme hardship of either you or your foreign partner is experiencing.
Emphasis is on the word “extreme”. They do understand that being separated from your partner, with your life’s on hold waiting for the wheels of immigration to turn is a hardship. But that is a normal and expected hardship one accepts when entering into a long distance romance, not considered “extreme”.
As an sample of an “extreme” hardship that we have worked on was when
the home of my client’s Philippine fiancé was destroyed by Typhoon Yolanda. The entire town she lived in was declared a disaster area. We immediately submitted evidence of what was happening and her case was expedited. In another recent case, my American client was suffering extreme stress and anxiety attacks from being separated from his partner. We submitted his diagnosis and doctors recommendations and his request to expedite was granted.
I have helped prepare expedite requests for many VisaCoach clients.
