Any data on effectiveness of service requests?

[cereal 84]

I luckily got a hold of a very nice agent at USCIS who filed a service request for me despite my late-July filing date still being within normal processing times. He said I'd hear something in 2 weeks' time. I was wondering if there was any data on how effective service requests have been in expediting the process, or if anyone here received their decision shortly after sending in a request.

I put one in for my hubby's green card. It took 13 days for them to get back to us. . See below:

Some were successful after the service request and lucky enough to get approved but service requests is not a basis or assurance for anything..I based it on my own experience

For my data point, my service request didn't do jack***, my application wasn't even touched.

Lol what a councident same exact thing happened to me on Friday and I wasn't sure if I should rely on their service because they have been reeling me this "call in two weeks" phrase since my case hit the 5 months on January 10 2013

My fiance put in a service request to have our case expedited and we received an e-mail the same evening saying that our request had been approved. They also said we would hear about their decision (NOA2, RFE, etc.) within 7 to 10 days.

We filed on Oct 1st and our petition was sent to CSC. The reasons we cited are financial hardship. I have to give two months' notice at work, they're NOT understanding about this process and I have to be gone by the 15th of May, period. Same goes with daycare. Around the 15th of May I'll be out of a job and without daycare for our little boy. I realise that to most of you these might not seem like pressing reasons, but being without an income until god knows when CSC would have gotten around to approving our petition would have had devasting consequences for me. I can't move in with anybody in the meantime either. Also my fiance is military and shortly after we arrived in Detroit were supposed to move to Cali for his last year but as long as we're not married he cannot request housing for us so we'd have to go to the expense of moving everything twice.
