I was an unmarried son over 21 when my mother submitted an I-130 petition in 2014. In May 2020, the NVC contacted me to process for paying the fee and the U.S. embassy interview. But at that time, I was already married. So the visa is not available for me now and I have to wait more. Now my mother is in a critical health condition and needs me with her. I have medical reports to support that. I have tried to contact USCIS but they told me to contact NVC. NVC told me: “We cannot expedite the processing of your petition, because there is no visa number currently available.” How can I expedite the request under the circumstances? Is there any other way for me to assist my mother in legal status?

If she was only a permanent resident, marriage destroyed the petition approvability. You need to apply for a humanitarian parole.
