Hello,


I am a US Citizen with a known disability. I have had 2 heart surgeries and multiple bouts of Covid19. My medical team is willing to write documentation that necessitates that my wife from Canada (Canadian PR) be allowed to come to the USA to join me ASAP to take care of me. Would this be grounds to expedite and hence be allowed for DCF?

Thanks.

DCF is available only if you currently reside in Canada (or outside the US).  However, you might qualify for an expedite.  Even so, your spouse will not be able to come ASAP. 

NOTE:  In addition, DCF is not available if an I-130 has already been submitted stateside.

Thank you for your response. I do not know what the stipulation is, but IF given a expedite, would she be able to apply for a B-2 with a in process CR-1? 

And, reading your signature, thank you for your service in the USAF.

She can apply, but she would have to demonstrate strong ties to home country. That might be difficult.

It was my honor to serve.  Thanks.
