[Steph1988 11]

Ok so we are goin to file an expedite for humanitarian reasons on our I-130, its currently 46days into the process, no NOA2 yet, and i have had to have major emergency surgery, while looking after 2small kids myself, so we are goin to see if we can get it expedited on my hardship due to health an hardship with the surgery an dealing with 2 kids alone an my husband missing out on the crucial formative development of our 1year old an the vital bonding that should be taking place, its worth a shot we do have valid reasons im a mom on her own with 2 small kids just had major surgery and i need my husband to help me an be with his kids, but my question, how do i file? do i just send a letter to California where its being processed with doctors letters an proof?

Follow the link above for the expedite

Focus on the surgery, I wouldn't even mention the missing out of 'formative years' and 'bonding of father and son' because that is not a compelling reason. USCIS will see it as you both deciding to have a child while he is away...as in not their problem. The surgery is much stronger

Good luck

The "bonding" part will not matter. Marrying a foreign national is a choice that you / we made.

Focus on criteria in the link given above.

I called USCIS and requested expedite. They emailed me later that day granting the request & giving instructions on where to fax/mail supporting documents. I faxed about 25 pages. I followed up with an email to the service center the next day. It took them several wks to respond with an approved expedite...3 more weeks for NOA2. Hope this helps & good luck with your surgery.
