i-131 expedite denied without request for evidence
Hello, I tried to expedite my I-131 because my father back home is gravely ill. My request was denied twice. - The first time, they denied it because I hadn't done the biometrics yet. I received the explanation below in their email: The status of this service request is: We received your request for expedited processing. We are unable to expedite your application at this time because we still need to collect your biometrics. When you receive your biometric services appointment notice, you may go to the appointment location on an earlier date than scheduled to see if they can collect your biometrics at that earlier date. If they are able to accommodate you, they may do so. Once we have collected your biometrics, you may resubmit your expedite request. The second time, they denied without even asking me for evidence. Here's what I received The status of this service request is: We received your request for expedited processing, but we will not accommodate that request. Based on a review of your request, your case does not meet one or more of the expedite criteria or otherwise merits expedited processing. We review all expedite requests on a case-by-case basis, and we accommodate them at the sole discretion of the agency. Here's my timeline: * Nov 17: USCIS received I-485, I-131, I-140, I-765 * Dec 11: made expedite request for I-131 on the phone. denied a few hours later because no biometrics * Dec 22: Biometrics appointment for I-485 and I-765 * Dec 22: New expedite request submitted via Emma for I-131 (was submitted under the same request number * Dec 28: Expedite request for I-131 denied What can I do? Not sure if that matters but biometrics only appear to be taken for I-485 and I-765, they don't show up for I-131 but I thought they'd reuse the same. My application is in Nebraska. I am really upset that they didn't even ask for proof, I had all the evidence ready with letters from my father's doctors etc. Would appreciate anyone's insights on this! Thank you!
