Expedite for a surgery scheduled 2-3 months in advance? Don't be surprised if they don't approve it....

Hi do u think nvc will expedite based on economic hardship?

It is not impossible, but it is probably the most difficult reason to get an expedite approved.  You'd need very clear reasons, documented well, and at the same time show there is no way your foreign spouse becomes a public charge.

Not economic hardship to the foreigner.  If the economic hardship is to the US Citizen Petitioner, then the financial hardship itself is likely to get the visa denied on public charge grounds.  If the foreigner's resources are going to be used on the affidavit of support, then those resources can be used to relieve the hardship, so it's a Catch 22.

i think it depends on the circumstances involved.  We recently received an expedite request acceptance from the NVC due to medical concerns and economic hardship of the US citizen.  We have yet to go to the interview though.

If the hardship doesn't bring up a valid public charge concern, then no problem.
