Hey guys, in this video, we're gonna talk about five arguments that can be made if your case
has been pending in for a very long time at the national visa center. And you still don't have an
interview date for those of you who are out there waiting, you know, how frustrating this can be,
or if you're here in the United States and you're waiting for your husband, wife, children,
or pay to come to the us, this video is for you as well. There are things that you can do proactively
to get the process, moving to speed things along so that they could join you here sooner
rather than later. But before I dive into those five arguments, guys, thanks so much

Also, guys do me the favor before you leave today of subscribe into
my channel and hit the notification bell. Before you go today. Now let's talk about this
issue. What are the five arguments that can be made? This issue came up recently when we
answered a question by, from one of you through our newsletter, and the question says this,
my son is a us born national. He filed an I one 30 petition three years ago for me. And I've been
documentary qualified at the NBC for the last 11 months. I've been waiting on an interview,
but no interview came yet. I'm a single mother. I haven't seen my son for the last six years and
I'm facing stress and depression in our email or the newsletter. We mentioned that if, uh, she
seeks an expedited process and request at the NBC, she would be scheduled for an interview in
a few months from the time that they've approved it on average, that's how long it takes now.
Have we seen it happen much sooner than that? Yeah, we have. We've seen it turn around in
a matter of days for some clients, for others though, it usually takes a few months. The first
argument that can be made is that the petitioner has a serious medical condition. The focus with
this one is on the petitioner, and if there is a serious medical issue going on with the petitioner
medical evidence or records or a doctor's letter or something like that need to be submitted with
the request for expedited processing. The second argument that can be made is that there's an
urgent, humanitarian reason what is going on with the beneficiary in her country that,
um, that is making her life there incredibly difficult. The third argument that can be made
is that the beneficiary is experiencing severe trauma or has experienced severe trauma. The
fourth argument that can be made is financial hardship, particularly financial hardship to the,
is the petitioner here in the United States, going through a very, very difficult time financially,
perhaps he or she has recently lost a job or, uh, they're facing bankruptcy,
foreclosure eviction, or something like that. The pressure is on him or her, uh, to get out of
debt. There's a lot of debt. What is going on with the petitioner on the financial side
that is really put in a lot of pressure on the petitioner and how can the beneficiaries come in
here to the United States assist with alleviate in that financial hardship. Talk about that. Lastly,
you could argue that the petitioner needs you in the United States for health reasons,
and you might be saying, well, isn't that the same thing as petitioner has a serious
medical condition and no, not really because with the last argument that can be made, it can be,
it doesn't have to be a serious medical condition like cancer or heart, uh, failure, or some big
heart, you know, big, uh, medical problem. It could very well be something like pregnancy
and we've seen how pregnancy works. It doesn't work in every case, but
it can be helpful to some cases now just to summarize friends again,
the five reasons that can be argued when you're seeking an expedited request are, uh, number one,
the petitioner has a serious medical condition. Number two, there's an urgent humanitarian reason.
Number three, you have experienced severe trauma in your country. Number four,
financial hardship and number the petitioner needs you here in the United States for health reasons.
I will also say this, that if you've gone to the embassy before, if you've been there and you were
denied for a visa based on some inadmissibility issue or a problem they've had in your background,
work with a professional to prepare you for the interview and make sure you have the appropriate
document in place to bring with you to your embassy interview, if you'd like to receive our
