Inquiry for Emergency appointment HELP

[Aaab 41]

To Any of you that have put an Inquiry for an Emergency k1 appointment and have been approved.

 

Could you please share with me your experience and guide me as to what kind of proof you sent to them when they asked for it?

 

Thanks in Advance.

Surely if you have an emergency you already have evidence of this?

Hello,

 

I do apologise, maybe I wasn't clear with my question however I do appreciate your responses. I had already googled this and had already read that, thanks for the link though, I do appreciate the response. I dont know if you had a little read but Step 3 on applying for Expedited interview,  says and I quote "Please note that you must schedule an appointment before you can request an expedited date" this Is not possible due to covid19 as No one can book a normal appointment at the moment so things are a little different right now. I know where to apply for this within my consulate and of course if you ask for an emergency appointment one would be prepared to provide evidence.

 

What I wanted to get out of my question here was to hopefully reach people within this website that have succeeded in this process and see if they were kind enough to share their experience here with me and get a back and forth going that could potentially help others gain some knowledge on how to apply and qualify for this. Emergency under Medical is actually more extensive than it portrays. The K1visa falls under family based and as we know it is in fact a non immigrant visa however it is also seen as an immigrant visa to a certain extent to The USCIS, NVC and the Consulates, as it is in fact headed for that. Due to this, the medical situation can be regarding the US Citizen fiancee as appose to the applicant themselves as the link suggests. The link talks only about medical reasons regarding the applicant and maybe people out there might qualify for an emergency appointment but are not fully aware. I should have worded my topic differently and that's on me...

 

Again, Thank you for your replies, for the help you provide and the guidance you give to many people on this website, including myself.

I am also ever so grateful for the information provided by google.

 

Best Regards.

Are you the petitioner or the beneficiary?

 

if you're the petitioner and you’re case is with USCIS you call them and talk to a customer service representative and ask to request an expedite on your petition based on the expedite criteria on USCIS website. Then they will send you and email. 
 

if your case is at the NVC, you call the NVC and do the same thing. If it gets expedited at the NVC you could ask If the expedite can be used at the consulate too, but no promises. 
 

if you’re the beneficiary you can’t do anything, tell your petitioner to call.

I received an emergency interview but my case was at the consulate already.

Hello,

 

First of all thats Awesome, that you were able to get an appointment during these times. with that being said I hope the emergency is not bad and If it is my apologies.

 

Yes that's the one I'm personally more interested in, with the Case already in the consulate; Specially having had an appointment already cancelled. In the consulate where my case is, they have already given quite a few emergency appointments due to medical reasons, specially to people who's interviews where scheduled but then cancelled during these last few months. They are approving inquiries that come straight from the US citizens (Not residents) and that are based on their hardship rather than the applicant.

 

The ambassador of my appointed consulate has said they will be giving priority to spouses when everything starts reopening. which I assume is the same with the emergency appointments however I have seen quite a few K1's get approved. All the emergency appointments ive seen get approved are based on the US citizen being the one in whatever type of distress, whether it was medical, financial (for spouses) etc not the applicant.

 

Like it says in one of the pinned post Pregnancy is not an emergency however If the pregnant woman (that by the way has to be the US citzen) is in distress, depressed or anxiety ridden that changes and the chances to get approved are there. If any of of the US citizens are on medications for anxiety, stress or depression for any reason that also qualifies. This is what I was also interested as the medical reason is more extensive and not just cut and dry like they make it seem. Ive also seen a person get approved with just one visit to the Dr. they did not disclosed what kind of Dr but it was only one instance and they got approved. That there is where my curiosity kicked in about the proof that is required. One visit to the Dr is enough? I wonder if it was a Dr at a hospital or a physiologist. Some People dont like to disclose much which is fine and understandable thats why I was hoping there were some people out there that were open to share possible details of their experience etc

 

Sorry for going on, was yours based on medical reasons?

My fiance is immuno compromised as he has renal failure and I need to be there to support him as it is dangerous for him to do things he needs to in his day-to-day life currently.

Contact the embassy/consulate to request an emergency appointment.

Your specific circumstances will determine if you qualify for it or not, as well as what type of evidence would demonstrate the need for an emergency. I get that it's probably not what you want to hear, but what somebody else did for success does not apply for you.

 

Now if the question was - for example - "I'm pregnant and have been told I have the risk of x/y/z, what type of evidence can I provide?", then more specific answers to your situation might be possible. Somebody who is familiar with pregnancy complications might be able to describe how to document that issue.

If the question was related to mental conditions, then similar types of advice may be possible.

 

The original question just asked for "what kind of proof" to send, which is impossible to answer. The type of evidence would depend on the reason that the emergency interview was requested.

I think you can't trust everything you read and there may have been more to that persons story with only one visit to the doctor.  I highly doubt one visit to a doctor is enough to fulfill the requirements for an expedited interview and approval. I understand you are trying to get others experiences but even those willing to share I'd be concerned you didn't know the full story. I would follow the guidelines for expedited approval and use that as your criteria. You can't compare your emergency to others; no two people live the same lives. 

 

I'm unsure if your personal example is pregnancy and depression/anxiety but I don't think that's enough ; nor is it something uncommon. Heck I'm pregnant, depressed and anxious but I don't think I'd meet criteria! Now maybe if I tried to take my life and was psychiatrically hospitalized and I shared my medical records along with my out patient psychiatrists recommendation for more support (if I didn't have anyone in the US) that definitely seems reasonable for an expedite. 

 

I am in no way saying you are trying to play the system, I am not, but I wanted to point out I've also seen a lot of people trying to circumvent the system now that these closures hit; I think its interesting that so many people are posting that they have emergencies now but few I've seen in the years prior. 

 

If you think you meet one of the below requirements then request the expedite; it will be up to the CO to decide if it meets or not.

 

How to Make an Expedite Request

In General

You may ask USCIS to expedite the adjudication of an application or petition for an immigration benefit.

USCIS:

• Considers all expedite requests on a case-by-case basis.
• Requires documentation to support a request.
• Has the sole discretion to decide whether to grant or deny a request.
• Does not consider expedite requests for applications or petitions that have Premium Processing Service available.

USCIS may consider an expedite request if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

• Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner’s or applicant’s failure to:
  1. File the benefit request or the expedite request in a reasonable time frame, or
  2. Respond to any requests for additional evidence in a reasonably timely manner;
• Urgent humanitarian reasons;
• Compelling U.S. government interests (such as urgent cases for the Department of Defense or DHS, or other public safety or national security interests); or
• Clear USCIS error.https://www.uscis.gov/forms/forms-information/how-make-expedite-request

Hi! Likewise, my case is currently at the embassy since April and I need to request an emergency interview, how did you go about stating the request? 
we’re in the Beirut embassy and they have not been helpful at all ☹️

I was literally just reading that Beirut is saying that under the proclamation K1 visa holders are unable to enter the USA. Which isn't true. However, I wonder if due to this belief they won't actually approve any visas.
As for your question though I just emailed the Sydney consulate directly and stated my case.

Wow! Where did you read that? I haven’t read about that, but I know K1 visas have no restricción. The country is literally falling apart day by day 😢 and I’m so worried for the safety of my fiancé, we are literally one step away and whenever we emailed the embassy they just send and auto reply email.
