Yes, the have stipulastions for emergency cases.
I know a guy who when home after his father passwd away. The guy could not afford an attorney, who were charging $2000 to take the case; Even though they were not going to do anything differently. He was a refugee and had been in this country for only 1year when his dad passwd away. He did not have a RTD and had to apply for the emergency RTD which the immigration sent to his home country in Russia. When he came back he showed them a copy of death certificate for his dad. The ins guy asked him a bunch of questions, and informed the him that he was introuble for returning home, but my friend told them the truth.
