A: If your mom's immigrant visa case is stuck at the NVC, you can request an expedite based on financial hardship. To do this, you will need to demonstrate that the delay is causing severe financial difficulties either for your mother or for you as her sponsor. For example, if your mom's support is crucial to your household, or if she's facing urgent financial needs that can only be addressed by relocating to the U.S., you should gather documentation to support that.

You can submit a request to expedite through the NVC’s public inquiry form. In the request, be clear and specific about the financial issues being caused by the delay. Attach supporting evidence such as medical bills, proof of dependency, or letters explaining how the delay is worsening the financial situation.

While financial hardship is a valid reason for expediting, approval isn't guaranteed. Make sure to explain how the delay directly impacts the financial situation, and prepare for the possibility that they may ask for further documentation or proof.
