Expedite requests don't slow down your case.
Expedite requests are a way to tell USCIS that your case should be treated before anyone else's, basically. That's why the approval rate of those requests is very low, as you need to give USCIS compelling reasons as to why you should jump the line. Here's how expedite requests work: you submit one, and it gets assigned to an officer. If this officer deems your request worthy of processing, they will request more documents to support your claims. If the expedite request was submitted by a congress representative, then they already sent all supporting documents (they require you send them those before they plead your case with USCIS). When the USCIS officer has all that they need to process your expedite request, this is where they decide whether your case is strong enough to be taken from the queue and approved right away or not. If your request is very strong, they approve your petition. If not, they deny your expedite request and your petition stays in line in the queue, where it was before you or the congress representative submitted the expedite request. So, you see, expedite requests don't slow down your case. They can speed it up, hence the name, but they don't slow it down. Also, expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the USCIS officer who reviews each request makes decisions at their own discretion. That means that an expedite request can be very compelling and still be denied. It's not personal. I hope this helps. 🙂 #expediterequest #expedite #ead #expediteead #eadexpedite
