Hi, I am new here. I have a question if anyone can point me in the right direction for an answer I would greatly appreciate it. It seems I have read that there is a possibility to get faster processing for medical emergencys. Would a potentially terminal cancer diagnosis qualify for that treatment? I am the USC with the healt issue. Does anyone know where to get this info? Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not sure I'm on the right track. But here it goes.
