Around 6 weeks ago i requested AP expedite due to humanitarian reason (my poor grandparent was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease and his health is declining very fast). I did so through EMMA. Yesterday i got reply: “ USCIS records indicate that we are awaiting your response to our Request for Evidence on this case. Your case is currently on suspense or on hold until we receive your response. A copy of the RFE is included for your information. Please follow any instructions on that notice. You may request expeditious processing again once USCIS has received your response.”
 

Is this standard email requesting evidence to expedite AP ( in my case that would be doctors notes for my grandpa), or are they saying that my AP can not be processed because it’s on hold due to RFIE for i485 AoS (it was RFE for marriage certificate) that i have received in September  and which i have responded to soon after ? (MyUSCIS status says that response for AOS RFE was received, that USCIS began working on my case again, that they will review evidence i have sent, and that if they need something from me that they will contact me). Confused cus although my evidence was received it’s not reviewed yet, so that may have put ap/ead on hold~

 

I didn’t receive any other RFE or instructions on how / where/ what email to reply to AP RFE, if that’s what this email is referring to. I just want to know for future if i needed to request expedite again~  since unfortunately some circumstances have changed for me and i absolutely can not travel anytime soon (my ob/gyn can’t clear me for travel due to current placenta previa durning pregnancy  :( ).Another question: Do i have to reply to this email / use EMMA to withdraw my expedite?

An RFIE for an I-485 will place a hold on your I-131 and I-765 processing.  It sounds, to me, like they have not processed the evidence you sent.  Until USCIS approves the evidence, it is on hold.

Suggestion:

Expedites are initiated through the call center. 

You plead your case to the agent and they will immediately during the call, deny or advise you to submit proof of reason for expedite and how to do that. 

 

Sounds like you have not even submitted the valid AP evidence like your immediate relative's (parent, sibling or child only) death certificate or doctor's note stating terminal illness with X amount of time to live so likely nothing is even on hold.

By the text you quoted, it seems it is not a response to your expedite and only informing you of the hold on all pending concurrent cases (well what you quoted indicates that and I see no correlation between what was quoted and it having anything to do with an expedite of any kind).

 

Sounds like you want to cancel even though you haven't been invited to submit your proofs (not sure as it isn't clear?)

 

Doesn't seem like there is anything to cancel if you haven't been asked by a phone agent how to submit your DC or doctors note for your parent, sibling or child.

Thank you everyone for reply. This expedite was requested through Emma online chat~ i talked to agent online and plead my case. They gave me inquiry number and stated that i should receive email from NBC or USCIS about what the next steps are and that it may take awhile for me to get any response as they are receiving many expedite requests. 

 

I never received any other email besides the one i quoted and It seems that @Crazy Cat is correct, since my RFE for I485 from 2 month ago is not processed/reviewed yet, my ead/ap are on hold therefore cannot be expedited~ 

 

@K1visaHopeful  I was never invited to submit any evidence and most likely the reason for this is my i485 RFE that i have received in September that i responded to in September but USCiS hasn’t reviewed it yet to this day. So my Ead/ Ap are on hold and aren’t worked on and cannot be expedited. I was just confused with the email they sent me, for a moment i thought that was RFE for AP expedite so i wanted to cancel it, but it’s not for AP expedite , it’s what you said it is ;).

 

I understand now that i don’t have to withdraw anything as uscis already denied it!
