Can a residency application be expedited due to pregnancy?
Asked on Jun 07th, 2016 on Immigration - Washington
More details to this question:
I'm American, my husband is Canadian. We got married in Canada in January. I travel for work, he came to the US in March, as a visitor, we traveled to Canada last week, they would not let him back into the USA because the border officer said he did "not appear to be a visitor" said he appeared to be an intending immigrant. So I had to leave him there because I have to work in US. I found out 2 days ago that I'm pregnant. I won't have our baby in Canada, and I need to know if there is a way to expedite his residency and green card paperwork, so that he can be here when our baby is born? Thank you

Have you started the immigrant visa process? You first need to start the process before you request it be expedited. You can request an immigrant visa petition and the visa application be expedited. Whether to expedite processing is at the discretion of USCIS. You will need to document the request to expedite. working with an attorney can also help speed up the process by minimizing delays due to failure to submit the necessary forms and documents.
