Expedite based on USCIS error?

Has anyone had any success in expediting based on a clear USCIS error? We filed our I-130 petition online. We recently received an RFE saying:

 

You did not submit a copy of the Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, at the time you submitted
the documentary evidence. Therefore, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires a
copy of the original petition and your signature to continue to process your petition.

 

We called USCIS and spoke to a Tier 2 Officer who said that our file does have the I-130, but to follow the RFE to prevent delay. We have payment confirmation, NOA1, and I did screenshots of the entire online process documenting everything to show certain items must be ticked and filled in order to complete the application including digital signature and acknowledgements. Therefore, because we have an NOA1 and payment confirmation, this confirms we successfully submitted the I-130. He filed an expedite request to the service center but he did not ask for evidence. I am sending out the RFE materials (a filled out I-130) overnight as well as a separate document with our evidence showing a clear USCIS error. Do you think this is a clear USCIS error?

Sounds like it is.  However the online system is new. But you can try!

Yes, it's an error, but not an error that justifies an expedite.  If they are sending an RFE, any significant waiting time is over.  They are ready to proceed with a decision.  Expect a decision on the petition, quicker than any decision on an expedite request.
