The country we are in is not really safe at the moment with a lot of civil unrest and violence. Even the US embassy's website has a big "DO NOT TRAVEL TO" warning due to this.

 

But obviously you travelled there despite this warning, so how would it make sense to expedite an immigrant visa based on state department warnings to USCs?  As a USC, you are free to leave that country at any time.

I've been told re-review after re-submission of documents at both USCIS and NVC are about 3 weeks long.

We were asked to reupload 2021 tax transcript for joint sponsor. All other docs were accepted. But I've been noticing that they're taking THREE MONTHS to review cases now and that is a long time so I contacted my senator's office and they got all the files they needed by Dec 20th, 2021.

 

The initial review is about 3 months, but that's the initial review. I've been told a re-review of RFE/Additional docs at both USCIS and NVC take about 3 weeks. I certainly hope not 3 months, or I might be in the same boast as you are. That would suck.

Okay I feel like there has been a misunderstanding

 

I know the entire IR1 visa process takes 1-2 years. I'm complaining about the NVC stage in the process. It used to be a couple of weeks and now it's up to 3 months for a resubmission of 1 document. I also know that to expedite you need to have legitimate reasons, which I do.

1. I (the petitioner) have a health condition that requires me to travel back to the US by the end of January at the latest (I am now with my husband abroad) and I need my husband to be able to travel with me for physical assistance throughout the trip.

2. My husband recently got laid off from his job, so we're going through a financial hardship at the moment.

3. The country we are in is not really safe at the moment with a lot of civil unrest and violence. Even the US embassy's website has a big "DO NOT TRAVEL TO" warning due to this.

 

All of this is documented. My main issue is my health condition otherwise I wouldn't have filed for the expedite.

You might want to reach out to the airline to see what kind of assistance services they can offer/how they can accommodate you if you have to travel on your own.  As the saying goes, hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Is the embassy even open in Khartoum? Just was wondering with all that's happening over there they might be closed or shirt staff.
