You can’t try. They have to qualify on their own for a tourist visa.

I am not talking about tourist visa. I am saying about expedite to get interview schedule for IR5

Based on your spouse's pregnancy?

Thanks all for the input and appreciate your valuable feedback on this matter. I was just looking for the right opinion before making any further decisions based on the experience people have had here. So I appreciate each and every response. I will try my best for an expedite, if not then I will just wait for my turn to get an appointment when the interview is scheduled for IR5. Thanks.

 

This post is difficult to understand. Why are you getting yourself an IR5? I am gong to ask some silly questions so that I understand this.

1. Did you file an expedite for yourself?
2. Are you in India or US as of now?

Same end result. Pregnancy is not ground for expedite. Otherwise all pregnant couples would do it!

I am talking about the petition for my parents IR5. I and my wife are USC and sponsoring my parents to US. Sorry for your confusions.

No worries. I was asking to clear the confusion in your language. 

Anyway, do not even waste you money on the expedite for your parents. That reason of emotional support will not fly. They will most likely tell you she can receive better support from you or better yet, her parents.

Sounds good. I appreciate your input. I will take a note of that.

Why waste their time, if your multiple expedite requests have already been denied?

Agree it is up to the Parents to apply but the B is not really an expedite but an emergency and ignoring the minor differences is free to apply

How is it an emergency?

I do have a letter from my wife's OB/GYN on specific needs we have and we are presenting our case based on that need only. I am just not trying on the grounds of normal pregnancy. So I appreciate your input and feedback but I am submitting a stronger case from my end. 

 

This is a bit confusing.  On your first post you stated this:

Hello all,

 

I have filed for IR5 immigrant visa for my parents from India. And I recently got DQ'ed for both of them. But based on the research and online timelines of lot of people DQ'ed in India the waiting time for interview seems to be almost more than a year at normal scheduling if it works like this. But I have a medical emergency in the states as my wife is pregnant and I tried to expedite multiple times but Embassy/Consulate rejected the request on that grounds. Does anyone have experience for applying for a tourist visa in this situation and is it a good idea to go through that process.

 

Thanks.

 

Are you stating that now you have a medical reason that requires the presence of your parents?  Again, ask yourself the tough questions and see if your justification answers those questions.  If they do, then the next expedite request may be accepted by the consulate.  If your justifications are weak, then the consulate will just deny it again.  Get a friend to check it because your viewpoint is one-sided.  (As it should be - after all, this is your wife and future son/daughter.  Any issue would be an emergency).  To a third party, those issues may not seem as critical.

This thread is getting unnecessarily long perhaps because the question was not very clear. Apparently you’re trying to expedite IR5 for your parents petition. As some pointed out pregnancy is not considered an emergency although some have gotten expedited based on it. However your case is more tenuous than normal because it’s not the petitioners (your) parents. Your chances would be almost zero or as close to zero as it can asymptotically get.

 

For visitors visas, emergency interviews are available however once again in my humble opinion same applies. Emergency interview will most likely be denied. 
 

In summary you can give it a shot, who knows. However it remains a Hail Mary aka moonshot. As one famous (or better still infamous) great 🤔 one term American president of recent memory would say what do you have to lose?

 

All the best!
