In this video, Fred Wahl, the VisaCoach, explains when a K-1 fiancé visa or CR-1/IR-1 spouse visa case may qualify for expedite treatment.
Most couples must wait in the normal immigration processing line. But in special situations, immigration may consider an expedite request if the reason is compelling and supported by strong evidence.
In this video, you will learn about possible expedite reasons, including:
• Imminent U.S. military deployment
• Serious medical emergency
• Imminent danger to the foreign partner
• A K-2 child in danger of aging out
• Extreme hardship
Fred also explains why submitting a weak or frivolous expedite request can backfire. A poorly supported request may be denied, and in some cases, may slow the case down instead of speeding it up.
At VisaCoach, Fred personally prepares fiancé visa and spouse visa applications, organizes the evidence, and guides couples through the immigration process.
