My U.s. Citizen Wife Is Critically Ill And Intubated — Is There Any Immigration Option To Get Me To Her?

Card image cap

My wife and I have been married for three years, and we are expecting our first baby. She is a U.S. citizen and also lives with a chronic autoimmune condition.

She is currently in the ICU and has been intubated and placed on a ventilator after developing severe respiratory problems and dangerously high CO₂ levels.

I am her husband and have been outside the U.S. I-130 was approved, I completed my immigrant visa interview, and my case has now been in administrative processing for more than eight months. I have also been affected by the current visa pause and related policy restrictions.

Given her current medical emergency, is there any humanitarian/emergency process, exception, waiver, congressional intervention, or other legal avenue that could potentially allow my case to be reviewed or my visa issued so I can be with my wife, even if its for a few days and then return back to my country.

I'm looking for anyone who has dealt with a similar situation or knows of an option I should look into.

Any advice or guidance would mean a lot.
