My husband (who is the beneficiary) needs to have a surgery on his back, after this surgery, he needs to rest layin on his stomach for 3 months, therefore he can't work and he would need me to take care of him! does any VJ members think that we can qualify for an expedite? and if yes, would his medical condition affect the interview? affect him in a way that it would not allow him to get a visa because he would need a surgery first?

You may try with sufficient documentation. Why don't you try like this? Get the doctor's letter from his country and do the medical treatment in the U.S using your health insurance. Sometimes, it works!

yeh, he's workin on gettin the doctor's letter from his country! but obviously he cant do the medical treatment unless he is in the US, and he needs me by his side right after he goes through the surgery! maybe i should contact the national service center number? we are just paranoid about the interview! you know he has to go through a medical exam and all..I'm afraid they would tell him he needs to have his surgery at his homeland before he is given a visa..what do u think

USCIS wouldn't advise anything. They may or may not expedite your case. That's all!

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."
