There is no such thing as an "emergency visa" for any situation. The petitioner can request an expedite but the is no guarantee at the request would be granted.

Sis, tell your husband to call the uscis and request for expedite service to expedite your case. I am CR-1 visa filed April 2013, National Benefits Center and still waiting for NOA2 but my husband called the uscis the other day and ask if there's any way to get me quick coz he has some health reasons as he mentions then the officer told him that they're going to put our case to request for expedite service due to health reasons and not to call them back til oct. 2, if we cannot receive the notice and the receipt number by the fist of Oct, so hopefully.. try to ask your husband to call the uscis and request for expedite. by the way, add me at fb sis Irish Slotnick so we could talk sometime.

what are the reason not to granted the request?

Only one reason which is "USCIS has determined this situation does not meet the criteria in approving an expedite request."

He is in hospital, he has hundreds of nurses checking on him. Keep in mind even with an expedite, it will take several weeks at least to get the visa. YOu need to gather evidence why you need to be with him after he comes home from hospital.

please let me know what are that evidence? if we expedite it do we get our noa2 also if the expedite request granted.. i know its a lot nurses there but its also good if im there with him so that if he needs something or i can just stay with him in the hospital..

If the expedite is granted your case would be looked at asap and hopefully you'd get NOA2. THen you'd need to apply for another expedite to get the interview date asap.

Yes it would be nice for you to be with your husband in the hospital, and when he gets home. But "would be nice" is not grounds for expedite. You need letters from doctors, the more the better, stating that he will suffer significantly if you are not there, and why it is medically necessary for you to be there. Ie why can't friends and family look after him? What about his insurance paying for a rehab facility rather than you coming over faster? This is NOT an easy expedite to get.

so let me know how to get expedite interview? is my husband need to call uscis to have the expedite interview? if he will make a note that he need me because his parents is in homeland and his sister dont have time to look after him because she is busy working and to look his mother too and nobody cant look after him, do he need a note to expedite? or just the doctor letters?

and please explain to me what is "not grounds for expedite"? i dont understand that

That statement means: it is NOT a good reason or one of the stated criteria for granting expedites.

Simply put, husband in the hospital with available professional care and other family members present is NOT enough justifiable reason for uscis to hurry your case ahead of others in line.

If expedites were that simple and easy to come by, then everyone one will go for it and there won't be any need for a line. That said, I wish your husband a speedy recovery. And if you decide to go for the expedite you get it.

Expedite Criteria

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met. The criteria are as follows:

• Severe financial loss to company or individual
• Extreme emergent situation
• Humanitarian situation
• Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
• Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
• USCIS error
• Compelling interest of USCIS

Note: Discretionary expedite requests for petitions and applications that have Premium Processing Service available will not be considered for expedite processing. The only exception is when the petitioner is a not-for-profit organization designated by the Internal Revenue Service. For information regarding premium processing, please refer to the premium processing webpage.

If you have already filed your application or petition:

You can make an expedite request by contacting the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283. The NCSC will take a “service request” and forward your expedite request to the office with jurisdiction over the application or petition. You also have the options of 1). visiting your local office by scheduling an InfoPass appointment or 2). writing a letter to the local office or service center.

You can expedite....I don't think there is anything as such because if you apply for visiting visa, you may not be able to got approval because of your immigration intent. Though you are at the 8 month mark...putting an expedition will cause them to work on your petition. And they good news is that you can expedite all the way to your interview.
