Emergency Medical Visa

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

You all were very helpful before and I thank you. My friend is in the K1 process with his girl and was getting antsy.

Everything went really bad this week. He had a heart attack last week and didn't know it. He went to the doctor on Monday and was hospitalized from there. He will not be going back to the Philipines to collect his wife; she is very upset that she cannot be here with him.

The attorney hasn't answered me on how long it takes to get an emergency VISA. I don't know that she knows.

Has anyone here been through that? How long does it take? Any clue? A tiny clue is better than none at all. I have none...

Thank you,

Robin

If it is a K-1 he does not have a wife.

He would have to show why it is necessary for HER to be here and what MEDICAL benefit that would provide in order to bring a fiancee on an emergency basis. Good luck with that.

That said, there is no emergency visa. He can request an expedited K-1 and give the reasons it is necessary and see what they say. Hint: the answer will be "no"

Gary. your so Cruel but I know it's the truth as well. My thoughts also. Let there be comfort in knowing it's the beneficiaries friend is posting this topic so she need not know unless having to be told so. Which will eventually happen.

I actually told him what had to be done and what the expected outcome is, which is what he asked for. Cruel?

Thank you. The notice from immigration came right after my friend went into the hospital; so the health emergency didn't happen yet. We will wait and see if the attorney can do anything. I hope he can hold in there; he only has about 20% of his heart working. He wants her here, she wants to be here with him; they are so close to being able to be together. It's terrible for this to happen to them; the timing couldn't be worse.

Having had a heart attack myself the "20% of his heart working" will mean nothing. The normal ejection rate of a the human heart is 45-60% Immediately after a heart attack 20% is not unusual and can be improved greatly with rehab, mine is now back to above 50%, well within normal range, and I am still at work at a very physical job and do it better than ever.

In order to expedite a visa for a non-family member (fiancee) you will need to show how this is necessary for his medical care.

You told the truth. That is what is best. No Whip Cream and Soda Pop today. I would rather hear it that way myself instead of mis-leading dreams.

Tell your friend to stop calling his fiance "wife". If this slips out in a conversation during her interview (she refers to him as husband) or during enterance to the US, or in an email that you might submit it will open up a can of worms you might not easily get out of. This is especailly true because of the ceremony they had.
