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!

@C L if it's really an urgent matter, you should keep trying right? send the the evidence anyway

H A29 de dic de 2023

@M P M i don’t have any way to send evidence, i don’t have the documents tab on my uscis account

C L30 de dic de 2023

@H A thanks i had someone from USCIS on the phone after who told me they’d try to set me up for a service appointment (i assume for emergency AP) but it was a bit unclear… they said i should hear back about that within 30 days but didn’t seem confident that it would change anything. they also told me that once an expedite request is denied it can’t be submitted again for the same reasons (but i never got to explain my reasons 😩)

@C L if you know the fo your case is at, get their fax number and fax the evidence with information about your case and your situation. I read on reddit that lawyers do that sometimes

H A31 de dic de 2023

@C L i did it and on the phone they just ask you for your information and send you an email with all the information they need and specifiy a day for your interview (within 3 days ) you just need to provide a proof of your emergency and go to the interview . its super easy and clear i can help you if you want
