Expedite Visa Interview

[Lone 0]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if anyone has any information on if the death of a mother-in-law is a reason to expedite a visa interview. I am the petitioner and my mother died suddenly this morning . My husband is overseas waiting for a visa interview. I really need him here.

I am very sorry for your loss.  You can certainly ask for an expedite.  I hope you find peace.

Usually expedite request wouldn't work in this situation but you can try.

I am so sorry for your loss.  You can try for an expedite via an emergency request.

 

Good Luck, and again, so sorry for your loss.

As others have said you can certainly try but I would not get my hopes up.

Thanks everyone for your kind condolences. You know, I must say this, I like to remain neutral because I understand that the backlog is largely due to COVID. But , there is no transparency for different countries. I feel sorry for others that have to wait, but to have people wait with no way to even get information on their case is just inconsiderate of the feelings American citizens . People are here on Visa Journey trying to get any information they can. Is this right considering we have paid money but can't even any get information about your case?  Can the consulates not give an idea of how bad the backlog is for a particular country. Thanks to Visa Journey who is willing try to do the best they can to answers questions.. I commend the administrators who created this website.

Information IS available and tracked here by Consulate.  When you ask, include the country in your question.

Thank you. I have searched Visa Journey and other immigration websites about the backlog in Praia, Cape Verde, this is an IR1 DQ'd August 3, 2023. There are only 8 posts for Cabo Verbe but the completed timelines are very old no new information is available.

There was someone on here from Cabo, very small Consulate and it can take time.

 

COVID is no longer a real issue, lots of other reasons.

I wasn't talking about "searching" for information here, but it's  great you tried.  I meant "asking".  I can understand why it is difficult to get information about that Consulate though.  Maybe post in the appropriate regional forum with a topic title that includes your question.  Somebody who has some information might see it and provide some anecdotal information.

Correct.  COVID delays are generally no longer an issue.  Those backlogs have been cleared but there are still places in that region that have very long wait times, like Ghana and Nigeria.
