USCIS recieved my application April 19, 2017.  I have only recieved notification that the application was sent to CSC for processing.   I did submit evidence for a request to expidite, but so far no response.  Any guidance or suggestions from those that have had similar expirences?

That's still within normal processing time, only 4 months, should be around 6.

If you fill out your timeline it'll give you an estimate of when you should expect approval.

 

As far as the expedite, I'm not sure how long that takes, sometimes by the time they reply you're already getting approved.

 

What was your reason for expedite? (you don't have to answer that of course)

Hi, I submited a request to expidite due to medical issues.  I am getting pretty frustrated because people who filed after me have already completed their cases and fiances recieved their visas.  I tried calling to inquire, but have only recieved generic responses (its processing).

O sorry, I didn't see you were K-1, I'm not totally sure what the timeline is for that.

Have you tried speaking to a tier 2 support rep?

 

As far as expedite for medical, I hear sometimes it gets approved sometimes it doesn't.

Plenty of similar experiences. There was a couple out of Philippines which is not a high fraud country for K-1, who applied back in November of 2016 and were just approved TODAY with NO RFE so 10 months wait and you are currently at barely 4.
