COVID lockdown explanation of extended absence
My friend and his spouse are green card holders ( originally immigrated through family based visa as his mother is a US citizen). They kept traveling back and forth between home country and USA ensuring they don’t stay more than 6 months outside of USA. However, with the pandemic and the lockdown, their flights were cancelled and they ended up returning to the US after 8 months. In addition, they also suffered from an immediate family death during this time as well. As this is a break in continuity, how can he best explain this situation during application? should he explain all of it in a letter? any additional documentation he can provide to explain it? please advise
NVC Expedite
if you have sent an expedite request to the US Embassy in Santo Domingo, please let me know how long they took to answer you and their response.
context:
I sent an expedite request last month and it was denied 24 hours later.
now I sent an expedite request with more evidence 8 days ago and still no reply.
my friend said that means it may be approved (for his friend in this embassy 2x they denied after 24hrs and then they took 28 days to reply their third expedite and they said its approved we are sorry for the wait we were finding you an appointment) might this be the case with me!?
