USCIS states that they consider an expedite request on a case-by-case basis if a situation meets one of the following criteria
Severe financial loss to a company or person
Emergencies and urgent humanitarian reasons;
Nonprofit organization (as designated by the Internal Revenue Service) whose request is in furtherance of the cultural or social interests of the United States;
U.S. government interests (such cases identified as urgent by federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, Equal Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or other public safety or national security interests)
Clear USCIS error.
To start a request for USCIS to expedite your case, you can call (800) 375-5283. Be prepared to wait on hold for 40-60 minutes.
