[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is pre-covid, so maybe different now, but when I used to apply for green cards for clients (part of my pro bono work for asylum seekers), when they were waiting for travel authorization, if they had imminent travel you could write to the processing facility asking for expedited processing, citing whatever reasons you have - urgent need to travel etc. Have you done this?[/quote]

I was told by Raskin's office we would need to produce some sort of proof of an emergency (eg medical diagnosis for parents).  In reality, despite my FIL having had cancer in the past and the fact both of my parents in law are in their eighties, there is no immediate medical issue.[/quote]

I don’t mean write to Raskin (though do that as well), I mean write to USCIS. Find a way to describe the urgency - don’t lie, obviously - but you don’t need proof because it’s not a formal process of any kind. Of course whatever proof you have will help but if you don’t have any you’re basically just appealing to them. As I said, pre-COVID I did this and the reasons weren’t real emergencies, more just important meetings or need to see elderly unwell relatives, etc. we always got the travel authorizations pretty soon after this, so it definitely used to work.
