They will not.  There is a pinned post about it here on VJ.

 

 

No, Pregnancy is NOT Grounds to Expedite Your Process

Not true. I'm sure in the majority of cases, yes they will deny. But, I think its dependent on the embassy, the officer who is responding to the request and how persuasive the email is. My sister had requested an expedite due to pregnancy, and 3 weeks after the request they accepted and she got the email to send her husband's passport. She sent the passport and included a letter from her doctor saying she needs to fly back to America soon as any more delay and it will become dangerous for her to fly. Due to that letter, she received her husband's passport back in just 3 days and they were able to travel to America together. Anyways, my point is it's worth a shot. It's just a simple email, and if you have a lawyer thats even better have them do it. The worse that will happen is they will deny the request.

I don't think it was simply a coincidence. AP was over so quick because they did expedite it. After her interview, she waited 3 weeks before contacting them to make the request to which they responded along the lines that they have added this request to her case file. 3 weeks after that they tell her to send in the passport. I just don't like seeing posts that say something is impossible, there's always a small chance that reaching out will work in someone's favor. For instance the other user on this forum who reached out to the white house and ended up getting an update on their case. If something sounds like a long shot, you should still go for it you never know. Myself and my two sisters were all able to do a DCF (we did initially start the process via USCIS). None of our cases matched the criteria listed to do a DCF, but we thought it's worth a shot to make such a request as it doesn't cost anything to send an email. All 3 of us were allowed to do a DCF. They may very well deny Jess's attempt to expedite, as is the norm with such requests (esp if her case is still in USCIS), but theres a small probability they won't. Just don't rule out the chance that a request for something be it DCF or expedite will be denied simply because most others who have attempted have been denied. Anyways, did you try having your congress rep make an inquiry about your request to expedite.

Yes, there are anecdotal stories of approved expedites for pregnancy.  In general though, it is not considered a reason to expedite, and such requests are not approved.
