Expedite chances

[RedBluff 5]

Dear all,

Earlier today I was reading through the forums and saw people talk about getting a K1 case expedited. My girlfriend was diagnosed with skincancer in June 2010. Because I was spending my sabbatical year with her in the US, I was able to help her get through the toughest part of the battle meaning the surgeries and beginning of the treatments. We left the US towards the end of 2010 thinking it would be no problem for her to receive her medicine while being in Europe. This has not been the case and it´s important for her to now return to the US if she wants to keep receiving her medicine. (The farmacy does not want to send it straight to Europe because of potential stability issues with the medicine) She is currently still in Europe with me but I feel she should return to get the medical attention required and get tested for her progress. Her insurance does not cover her while she is in Europe so getting tested over here is not an option and the medicine is upwards of 2000$ per month so incredibly expensive.

Could we get our K1 case expedited based on my gf undergoing treatments in the US and needing me to be there? The treatments have many side effects including depression so it´s both her physical and mental health that are in jeopardy if I cannot be with her during these tough months. Her treatments are going to continue until september/october 2011.

Do you know of any cases where the US Citizen has medical reasons like this to get the case expedited?

What do you advise us to do? We intend on calling USCIS later today and can provide proof immediately if needed.

Best regards

Yes, my US fiance, requested and was recently granted expedite through the VSC based on her fiancial and medical need. She provided a letter for her medical doctor, proof of costs of insurance, which she will lose soon, and costs of drugs. She also provided a long letter stating her medical needs, financial needs, and why she wanted me in the Country (to help care and provide for her medical and financial needs). She isnt dying but has a serious illness that requires long term expense and care.

Oh, I would also advise faxing, and mailing them a copy. Keep originals for your records. You may need to push them a little as ours took over 21 days to approve. On day 21 we emailed and faxed them, and a few days late we were approved.

People on the phone not really very good, try and speak to a tier 2 operative as tier 1 constantly read of a script that has nothing to do with what I was asking.

Our expedite request has been approved and this only 2 days after sending in required proof. Thanks for the support and valuable advice.
