Expedite for Pregnancy in Pakistan?

[SmilesAbroad 27]

I have severe endometriosis too and I didn't have organs cut from my body and they absolutely did not care about my reason to expedite... personally getting for organs cut sounds a tad far fetched, and more importantly, you don't even HAVE it yet. But again, even if you did have severe endometriosis like I do, they won't care, my embassy was easier and they said "We have a schedule, no expedite, etc..."

IMO, endometriosis sucks, but it's not a good enough reason.

Wow thank you for accusing me of lying about my own mother. She did have four organs cut from her body due to severe growths and cysts. Don't say that its "a tad far-fetched" because you have not needed to have organs cut from your body. If you want me to act the same as you I can accuse you of calling your mild case of endometriosis "severe" since you have NOT needed organs cut from your body; it must not be severe at all. Why couldn't you just tell your story that they didn't care about your endometriosis instead of adding an insult to myself and my mother. and FYI I was NOT SAYING THAT I WANT AN EXPEDITE BECAUSE I MIGHT HAVE ENDOMETRIOSIS, I WAS ONLY SAYING THAT THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE TRIED TO GET PREGNANT INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR WHEN WE ARRIVE IN THE USA. THANK YOU FOR SKIMMING MY POST. If you were confused about something I said, you could try asking me a question instead of laying out accusations.

@Kyda:

This is just a side note: as I was reading through the post it seems to me you are the one who "jumped" and became very rude to people who were trying to answer you. When they wrote "If you're a USC you can hop on a plane anytime and give birth to your kid in the US" they didn't mean to be rude. This is the immigration fact...the cold, icy truth. As far as immigration goes, this is THEIR attitude about this. If you are a US citizen you can always fly back home, and give birth to your kid if you want your kid to born in the U.S. You have nothing in your way to do that so. For this reason, USCIS will not expedite your husband's immigration procedure. He is not at risk from dying if you stay in Pakistan and give birth to your kid there. There is simply no reason you guys would have to expedite your husband's immigration process. People were not trying to be rude here, they just told you how USCIS views a situation that is similar to yours. I talked to my two best friends who are happen to be from Pakistan here in the US and they agreed and could not add any better ideas for your husband to expedite his process for immigration.

Good luck!

Everyone keeps writing on their posts that this is "THEIR" attitude and not their own but it it seems that everyone here has adopted the same icy cold attitude as their own while undergoing this process. It is very rude and other people think so as well. Its not my own fault that I read the criteria for expedite and saw that "emergent situation" is not the only criteria listed. What you all are describing are "emergent situations" but this is not the only criteria listed. It may be that they rarely approve an expedite for anything but a very emergent situation but this is all you need to say. You don't need to tell me that my situation is not emergent, because I am QUITE capable of realizing that fact and I did not sit here and write a post that I'm in an emergency so can you please tell me if I can get an expedite. I merely asked if being pregnant in a third world country qualifies for expedite under their listed criteria because I was unsure. You can answer this question without accusing me of bad things or being rude. Saying that you can just hop on a plane and give birth in the USA is rude. I'm not an idiot who can't understand that a USC has a passport valid for travel to the US.

hope you get your expedite

congrats on your pregnancy

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING ONE OF THE FEW TO GIVE A POLITE REPLY TO MY POST. GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR MANNERS.

Remember she was talking about her mother, which would indicate that she was a bit older. She could have had to have a "complete" hysterectomy rather than a partial. That would have involved what she could have claimed to be 4 organs (if you include an oophorectomy).

Also, now that she is pregnant, the endometriosis will either abate or completely go away. The bottom line is that the US citizen is the one with the "health" concern. She is legally able to leave and enter the US with no problems. Unless her husband doesn't want her to go without him. Under Islam law, he has the power to let her leave or not. Don't know if this is the case, I just know that is how islam law in Pakistan works.

The OP has her answer. This is not a reason for expedition. It is a reason for concern for the health of her baby (and hers) if she has reservations regarding the Pakistani health system.

In addition to a complete hysterectomy and oophorectomy my mother also needed her gallbladder removed. Her endometriosis was very SEVERE. The doctors didn't even know before they started surgery on her that the damage was that bad. And yes you are right; the point of pregnancy is to reduce the chance of endometriosis starting or progressing. I did not want an expedite for a health concern due to endometriosis, I was only explaining why we did not "plan" our pregnancy for when we are in the US. And yes, you are completely right again. Our nikah certificate lays out the rules for what should happen if we decide to separate living quarters, and that can't be done simply to have birth in the US. There must be a problem with our marriage for the separation clause of our personal nikah to go into effect. This is what we both agreed to on our own nikah. So I will not be traveling to the USA for an extended period of time without my husband also coming.
