Appointment Tuesday could use advise

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

Right so after getting the run around with USCIS for about a month regarding my missing petition (magically missing service orders too.), I finally broke down and scheduled an appointment with my local office.

My plan is to explain the situation and see if i can get re submittal instructions from an officer. assuming the worst that they have no info, should i feel out the officer and if they appear to be nice and helpful, make a formal request for an expedite citing their error and then have them take my statement?

Or should I just come out and ask for an expedite?

They wont expedite a K-1 for anything other than petitioner is in military and being deployed overseas.

This goes well beyond the receipt delays, i'm well over 120 days and I've checked back USCIS after 90 days. They've put in service requests to find my case but when i call back those requests simply disappear from their system.

Also they do expedite for more then military. See below.
