Expedite or not to expedite?
Hi all,

I noticed that there is not much information on the expedite process outside of the criteria.

Married to USC (C09)
My PD is April 05, 2018 (I-485,I-130,I-765,I-131)
NOA1 is April 12, 2018
Biometrics done - May 04, 2018
I-485 - Case is Ready to be scheduled for an interview July 17, 2018

No updates on EAD/AP.

Previous EAD (OPT STEM) expired on 08/02, stopped working on 08/01. Job is safe for now.

My question is:
1) Does expediting remove your place in the queue?
2) Does it take months to approve the expedite request?

I have been told by lawyers that the following above is true. What has been your experience? Infopass officer said the same thing. However, what I have read here seems to be the contrary.

3) At this point, based on my timeline, should I expedite? I am burning through savings and have a family to feed. I can show financial loss soon as I burn through savings and also work for a non-profit which heavily contributes to the US as a whole.

4) It seems that if one calls, one has to wait for USCIS to request evidence. Do lawyers or senators send evidence with the expedite request?

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance. I am hoping some of my questions could help others who qualify under the expedite criteria as well.

Should I keep waiting?
