Either I or my family have an application in with UDI for family immigration and have been affected by the earthquake. Can the application be given priority?
As a general rule, we cannot move any applications ahead in the queue on the basis of an applicant being in one of the affected areas. If you or your family have requested to be given priority, and UDI has granted the request, it will still take some time to process your application. It may be necessary even to carry out additional investigations such as an interview and/or a DNA test.
