Check if your base as a USCIS office, or JAG may be able to help too.

JAG will not help you. Again, JAG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IMMIGRATION!

Call the military hotline and request an expedite. They will need to see the orders. That's all you can do at this point! But that also should all you need to do. Good luck!

If you have hardcopy orders (really doubtful at this point since it won't happen for 6 months) then you can call the military helpline to request the expedite. They will most likely want to see your orders since you will not be calling from a deployed location. With your letter from your CO, that might work out...you can only try. The only thing is, even with an expedite it could still take 6 months for the visa to be approved and delivered...which is when you would deploy. How long is your deployment for? 6 months, 1 year? Just remember that the validity of the visa is normally 6 months once issued and you have to marry your fiancee within 90 days of arrival to the US. You are on a pretty tight time schedule. Better call the hotline once you have a case number (as it doesn't look like you have sent it in yet?). Best of luck to you both.
