The immigration process for the US is such bullshit. I filed my application for my fiance over a year ago and they still haven't processed it. What's really messed up is that even though I live in Mississippi the USCIS center that processes applications for my region is based in California, and of course they're flooded with applicants wanting to cross the southern border. Current wait time for my region is 16.5 months, if it were processed in Nebraska (which is actually closer) the wait time would have only been 4.5 months.

On the USCIS website it specifically states that a death in the family qualifies for an emergency expedite request. Her mother died in 2020 during the covid epidemic, and her father recently died from cancer. I filed for the expedite request but was denied almost immediately. I read that the consulate (in our case Jakarta) was responsible for visa approval and I found the contact information for the fiance visa department and have been calling them and emailing them for days with no response. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone works there at all.

Anyone out there in the #Nostr community have any suggestions?

That's a negative Ghost Rider. That's only if she's already in the US when she gives birth, and pregnancy does not constitute an emergency for expedition purposes either. Getting her there is the problem. Indonesia is not among the countries listed in our visa waver program so for her to even come here as a tourist she would have to have a visa approved prior to travel, and being that we have already filed for a fiance visa, a tourist visa would is unlikely to be approved as they would suspect that we were intent on getting married during her 90 day stay. Even if a tourist visa were approved and we were to get married during her visit, her green card could be denied forcing her to return to Indonesia and possibly baring her from reentry in the future.
