I know it's possible to request expedite due to USCIS error. Does that also include an error made by the consulate? Our case is sitting at the Jerusalem consulate waiting for review due to an error they made. My husband emailed them again today asking for an expedite due to their error. Is this the only way to do it when we are at this stage past the interview?

What is the nature of the error ?

They told my husband at the interview that the joint sponsor AOS documents were missing. They gave him back all the paperwork and sent him home and told him to send it in when he gets it. When he got home, he found all of the joint sponsor documents in the same packet they returned to him. He had to mail them back to the consulate for review, which has now costed us another 3 weeks at this point.

they will take as long as they take to review the documents once they're in hand. I don't think you can expedite anything once you've had the interview.
