Immigrant Visa Approved- Cant travel to US due to Emergency Medical Treatment

[abhinata]

My mom 66 years got her immigrant visa approved and she has Till May2 2024 to travel to US to get her greencard. Unfortunately, she has a medical treatment that requires blood transfusion. She is unable to travel such a long distance. We would like to postpone her visa expiration so she has more time lets say 6 months to travel for her greencard. Can anyone suggest what our options are?
I read that you have to submit an email to Mumbai consulate and state your case with doctors recommendation but no guarantee. Would really appreciate any inputs here. Thanks a lot.

Per rules, medical is valid for only 6 months. If she postpones, she may need to redo the medicals. Who knows, there could be exceptions to this rule. I suggest you write to the Bombay consulate.

I wrote it to mumbai consulate on their email ([email protected]) on Saturday Apr 6 but havent heard anything. Also provided relevant documents. Is there a separate email address for mumbai consultate i can use?

I would call them and ask them on the phone . Either they will answer on the phone or expedite your email case
