Hello. I am looking to get married on k1 visa but my mom’s dementia seems to be worsening and my mom misses me a lot. I would like to go back to home country before she forgets me. I honestly don’t think I can afford to wait for the advance parole’s normal processing. 

 

Is this a good enough expedite reason re: urgent humanitarian reason? 
 

What evidence would I need to submit with expedite request?
I do have a doctor’s diagnosis of my mom’s Alzheimers from a year ago. But it doesn’t show the recent progress of her condition.
Do I have to get an additional doctor’s note of recent worsening of her condition too? What if I can’t get one?

Sorry to hear about that.

 

You would first need to get married and send off AOS paperwork, I would include AP expedite request in there too. A recent note would be helpful. 
 

However, keep in mind that USCIS’s understanding of an expedite is different, it can still take several months to process. Also, it is not guaranteed it will be approved.

 

If it is pertinent to return urgently, then I would get married, leave the US and have the USC spouse file a petition for the spousal visa process, this would take 18-24 months

Expedites are free and nobody here will decide if it is good enough or not. Just be aware everybody and their dog is requesting an expedite now, and when it comes down to it the call is made by the individual reviewing your application.

 

Obviously the more and better supporting documentation you can submit the better.

Get married, file AOS, do biometric and then file for expedite request. When I did expedite request for AP, USCIS never asked me for any evidence. There’s no hard rule about evidence. So gather whatever u have to back up the request
