Can my health issue expedite my husband's return back to US?

I am now pregnant with our second child, and in real big risk of abortion the doctor is willing to help me doing any letters describing my type of problem can this make it any faster so he can come back to the us.

This may be enough to get a grant of a waiver for hardship to avoid the 10 year bar to reentry. You will need help from a lawyer to accomplish this.

Your health issue is probably the only thing that will help your husband return to the U.S. legally. You will have to file a waiver for his illegal presence in the U.S.

You can ask for expedited processing based on medical needs at any part of the process. That includes while the case is at the USCIS, while it it at the National Visa Center and while it is at the consulate. You will have to have very good documentation of a medical need for the case to be expedited and you may need Congressional assistance. Expedite requests are completely discretionary.

Depending upon your husband's full immigration history, you may be able to sponsor him. After the I-130 is adjudicated, you will need to file an extreme hardship waiver at the US consulate. Those prepared by a competent immigration attorney have a much higher rate of success. You may be able to expedite your case by contacting DHS, the NVC or the US consulate, depending upon where your case currently is. However again, you will have much better luck using an attorney to advocate for you.

The answer depends upon several factors. Your husband is subject to a ten year bar due to his previous illegal presence. He may be eligible for a waiver, but he must demonstrate extreme hardship to you. You may also be able to expedite the case depending upon your immigration status. This is a complex matter and you are encouraged to meet with an attorney in person to discuss what documents will be needed and the likelihood the request will be granted.
