Hello,

Something has just come up regarding my health. I was just diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis and have a blood clot in my leg that could move and be fatal. This medical condition is 30% fatal in cases diagnosed with this medical issue (pulmonary embolism). I was reading in the USCIS website that sometimes they are able to accelerate the processing of an application due to extreme circumstances. My question is does this medical situation of the Deep Vein Thrombosis constitute an extreme emergent situation? I am taking medication for the blood clot, but even if they get this one blood clot taken care of there is still a chance of more blood clots forming.

Anyways we asked our lawyer and he said we could try this procedure but since it's not included in the K-3 visa he'd have to charge us extra for it... when all it takes is a phone call and sending the proofs...

If you have any idea about this situation please let us know, it would be of great help, thank you.

Your lawyer like most lawyers are is just trying to take the most money he can get. I got my interview moved up because im pregnant and all i did was call NVC and tell them my situation all you have to do is send them an email with your case number and atten PI supervisor sue in the subject and explane your situation along with all the medical evedance that you have if your case is still not at NVC and still at USCIS then all you have to do is call and tell them and they will be more then happy to tell you what you have to do. just tell them that you would like to know how you can get your case expidited for medical reasons and they will tell you

I'm sorry to hear about your condition. In your position, I would be terrified to fly anywhere! Will you be able to go by water to the US?

I agree with Miriam that it would be better for you to try it on your own instead of paying the extra fee to your lawyer, especially if it's the same lawyer who has already delayed your journey by several months. Good luck! :)

DVT is easily treated... the clot will be broken up and absorbed back into the body... you will have to take warfrin meds to prevent this happening again but you will still be able to fly once the clot is gone just make sure you take the blood thinning meds on time when you fly...

Dont know if it is ground to get your case expedited but you can ask... I know of one couple who were refused expedited service and he had cancer...

Good Luck

No matter what you do to expedite the spouse visa, I suggest you get her here on the VWP or B visa, so you can be together right away.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
