Here's my timeline with a little bit more details

Nov 3rd - USCIS Texas sent petition to NVC

Dec 22nd - NVC received petition & I paid AOS fee and agent

Jan 26th - was able to pay IV fee and DS260

Jan 27th - sent AOS and IV packets to NVC

Jan 29th - NVC confirmed they received packages by email

Feb 6th - sent an email to NVCExpedite requesting an expedite due to financial hardship of the USC

Feb 8th - NVC confirmed they received my email and sent it to the embassy for consideration

Feb 11th - Embassy accepted expedite request by email - they're waiting for the NVC to send the AOS & IV information

Mar 6th - NVC sent documents to the DR

Mar 9th - CEAC website said "in transit"

Mar 11th - CEAC website said "ready" and to schedule interview and VAC appt.

... So to answer your question, yes I had already sent the AOS and IV packets in. I wasn't sure if they would have accepted my expedite so I sent them in anyways. I feel like it didn't slow down my case really. I wanted to show that I was responsible so I made sure to pay all of the fees and give them everything they requested before asking for an expedite. I feel like it worked.
