Hello! 1 day later I heard back from my embassy in santo domingo and I got this answer: 

 

To Whom it Concerns:

 

Thank you for your patience. We sent your request to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

 

However, they cannot expedite this case.

 

Please note: Only the U.S. Embassy or Consulate can approve or deny expedite requests.

 

This case is now documentarily complete. That means the National Visa Center has all the required documents. Your application is now waiting for an interview appointment.

 

I Will send another expedite today letting them know i am now DQ along with emphasizing more the fact that USCIS approved my expedite request recently given the urgency of my situation and if they still deny that I will send it with my senator who expressed interest in helping me in this phase and contact the white house as I did with USCIS to get it approved. Any additional tips you would recommend?

That appears to be a denial of your expedite request.  Please keep us updated.

Your expedite request was denied.   Not sure how you think sending another request immediately is a good idea?

 

US senators can make inquiries, but they cannot change consular decisions (like the decision to deny an expedite request).

Each stage you have to apply for an expedite, just because USCIS approved your expedite does not mean NVC would (in your case there was no need) or the consulate has too expedite it too. They are the ones who make that call.
