QUESTION
Can I expedite my sisters I-130 for humanitarian and medical reasons?
Asked on Jul 11th, 2012 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
I am a US Citizen living in California, married with 2 kids. My sister is 36 years old living in India with my parents. My sister suffers from epilepsy, thyroid disorders and is slightly autistic. She is fully dependent on my parents. We lost our mother unexpectedly earlier this year. My father is suffering from a terminal form of cancer and is only expected to survive a few weeks to a few months. On my father’s demise, my sister would be completely helpless and without options. There are no decent care home facilities in India for people like her. I understand that I can file an I-130 for her but it takes a long time due to lower priority.

It would be necessary to try to file for a Humanitarian Parole.

You can request and I-130 be expedited for medical/humanitarian reasons but you must include evidence of such medical/humanitarian reasons with the request. I am available for a consult if you would like to discuss further.

It cannot be expedited. She can request humanitarian parole but it is a limited firm of relief.

Unfortunately, the regulations do not provide for expedite processing in cases where the beneficiary is still waiting for her priority date to become current.
