Immigration AttorneyThe USCIS has specific and limited criteria for expediting action on an application or petition. One criterion is severe financial loss to an individual. Another one is for a humanitarian situation. While most expedite requests are not granted, there is no downside or disadvantage to requesting expedited action if you feel your case is strong, i.e. if you can document that you are very likely to suffer a severe financial loss if your I-829 petition is not adjudicated quickly.
