More details to this question:
i just arrived in the usa. i defected because i had a security problem in turkey. my work permit and social security number have been shipped to me now. i have a fracture in my nasal bone due to a problem i had as a child in turkey and it needs urgent surgery. Under normal circumstances, I had a court date this January, but it was postponed until 2026. can I somehow go to a country other than turkey and have surgery during this time? i have reports from doctors, but i don't have the power to cover the treatment costs here on my own. I am 18 years old and I am a successful student studying at university and high school.

Update Your Profile
Do you not have medical insurance under the international student program? Did you try to contact the state health department and other programs that are available to help pay for treatment? You should look through the options and if you need help consider paying for a consultation to go over your options. If I-131 has already been filed, not much can be done. However if its not filed yet, you can try to expedite it. Applying for U.S. travel documents can be a long and complicated process, but it doesn't have to be. If you need documentation within a certain time frame, you may be able to expedite your travel documents through Form I-131 or advance parole.I highly recommend to hire an attorney to help you navigate the process. Thank you.
