I-131 Refugee document Expedite waiting
I am about to lose it. My father needs medical attetion at a 3rd country (not my country of origin). I requested expedite when filing and thru Emma. Uscis said at least 1 month to respond to Expedite request but time is ticking and he needs me. should I reach out to congressman, any tips on speeding up this process other than what I've done so far?

have you tried to talk to a live agent over the phone to see what they can do for you?
Immigration GuyFeb 2, 2024
yes I talked to them, they said wait 30 days to get a response on expedite request

I dont want to disappoint you, they will not look at the application or expedite it, (they have so many applications to deal with) unless you talk to the congressman or a senator and show them these documents of your ill father.

I'm going to wait until next week so it is 1 month since expedite request and then I'll both reach out to them and the congressman or senator

Your form for i131 might be approved. Tried to expedite too , got rejection after 10 days. Your case is pending more then 40 days and this is might be a good sign.

@Immigration Guy why dont you get emergency appointment . they usually give the appointment in a day or 2. you just need to have al hospital or doctors reports needed as proof of emergency. you can get emergency AP on the same day iof interview
Immigration GuyFeb 3, 2024
can't get an AP, I'm an asylee, I can only travel with Refugee Travel Document
Immigration GuyFeb 3, 2024
@Paul Paulus I hope so. Did you travel with the document already? did you have any issues? do you have your greencard yet?

@R Btz that's true, but you also need to have an expired passport for that

@Immigration Guy , didn't travel with RTD. Got first one , but didn't have enough time and finances to travel. Now I'm waiting a new one, since Sept 2023.

@christian lutare oh really? so you are saying as an asylee I should take AP and my country of origin's passport and go? use the passport of the country I ask protection from? interesting!

@Immigration Guy I think you are asylee & you should be good to followup the expedite for RTD. You can ask live agent on Emma the progress of the expedite request. Any update?
Immigration GuyFeb 20, 2024
no success so far. they said wait 1 week for response on expedite, then wait 1 month, 1 month passed they said we can run another request for expedite, they're ridiculous
