I can’t advice you on the type of papers because only your lawyer has enough info on the case to know what kind of emergency hearing he can request per merits of your case. Your lawyer can better advice you on that. But I would tell you, if that judge retires, it could take even 3 years or more...

There is not much you can do while there……….Just bring all evidence which document the funeral and why you could not wait(some very convincing reason). I think they would show leniency due to this circumstance which qualifies as an extra-ordinary one………at least in my opinion and the average...

There is not much you can do in the absence of your late mum. She is the one who can legally file for you easily. In her absence and the situation you just described, your best bet is to become American after three years of marriage. For you to get citizenship via your late mum is complicated...
