anyone expedite while in USCIS stage?

[jhilly143 0]

hey guys, i'm just wondering if anyone applied for a service request to expedite while their case was with the USCIS. i did, and i received an email from the officer working on my case asking me to turn in the supporting documents to prove my case for expedite. he gave me a fax number to send it to. i've been trying to send it for a couple days and every time, my fax machine would say "NO ANSWER" or "LINE BUSY". i've called USCIS, confirmed the number and they said to just keep trying. maybe it's just a glitch on the fax machine. i asked if there's another number i can fax it to, but the officer told me that there's only one line designated to accept expedite cases. i'm gonna keep trying and if all else fails i'm going to call USCIS for the 2nd time.

Any suggestions or comments i'd gladly appreciate it

whenever i get a fax number that wont go through i call using my phone to see if i hear the fax tones, if you dont, then its not a fax number. just keep trying like they said if it is a fax number.

Good Luck

also, ask if you can mail the documents just in case.

=======================================

Expedite Criteria at USCIS

All expedite requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and are granted at the discretion of the Director. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met. The criteria are as follows:

Severe financial loss to company or individual

Extreme emergent situation

Humanitarian situation

Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States

Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)

USCIS error

Compelling interest of USCIS

If you are filing your application or petition:

You must provide a written explanation as to why the application or petition needs to be expedited. You may include supporting evidence with the request. Write “EXPEDITE REQUEST” at the top of your letter. When you file your application or petition, place your expedite request letter on the top of your documents.

If you have already filed your application or petition:

You can contact the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283. The NCSC will take a “service request” and forward your expedite request to the office with jurisdiction over the application or petition. You also have the options of 1). visiting your local office by scheduling an InfoPass appointment or 2). writing a letter to the local office or service center.
