Thank you, that clears up my confusion. It'd really just freaking me out and it makes things difficult on me and the kids but I don't think it'd be enough for an expedite. I appreciate you explaining

I apologize if this seems stupid but what do you mean? Are you saying that the situation itself warrants an expedite request? If I misunderstood then my bad. If that is what you mean then I would say that I don't know what would count as good evidence other than articles in local news outlets but maybe I just don't know what to look for very well

That's probably the best thing for me then. Thank you for the kind words

We are currently trying to relocate her to Thailand as well. I worked with a senator to try to expedite when she had a medical issue but the issue got resolved and the senator's rep said that getting an expedite without a Dr recommendation for travel would be more difficult and that they were sure it wouldnt be approved. I also don't think just sending in news articles would be enough evidence but maybe I am being too cynical. Thank you for the taking the time to reply to my post, I appreciate it and the advice.

My wife is in myanmar right now. I'm Scared for her safety all the time. There are bombings across the country, violence in general. If you have a family member in a similar situation how do you keep it together? From what I've seen on here it seems my wife could be hit by a bombing and still not receive an approval for an expedite plus I don't even know what evidence they'd accept either. How do you cope with the constant worry? The fear? Is it really all just grit your teeth and keep going? Is there anything you do that actually helps? I filed back in August and it seems like every month I do a little worse at keeping myself calm.
