I had filed WOM to seek help in adjudicating my I-130, since it has been approved I have asked court to retain jurisdiction over my case over NVC and subsequent process also asked for periodic updates since I have waited long. Now my question will it help in my petition getting interview sooner or the case would be dismissed as I have gotten relief based on my initial request. also my petition includes my minor daughter too; do these speed up the process or its still the wait game ?

Are you managing things as a DIY or using a lawyer? What were your RFE's for during the I-130 process? 

 

USCIS handles the I-130; NVC (Dept of State) are responsible for the DS-260's.  If the I-130 was slow to be processed and the WOM pushed it, the buck likely stopped there.  Expedite requests have to be handled by each entity, separately. Because your DS-260 isn't out of normal processing time if you've recently submitted, there is no reason you'd skip the queue.  

 

Have you completed the DS-260's for you and your minor and has your petitioner completed and submitted the I-864?  Unless your DS-260 is outside of normal processing time, there is no reason you'd skip the queue.  Same goes once those DS-260's are approved, you're documentarily qualified and waiting for an interview.  Minors do not have any impact on the speed in which cases are handled; I had 2 minor children myself.  There have been other families that have also gone through the process and did not receive any expedited treatment simply because there were minors involved.
