I do not see the basis for an expedite but agree there is no harm and you never know.

my husband is the sole provider

Is he in the US working legally?ย  This could be an issue at his interview if he is working without authorization.

I'm assuming he entered the US illegally and now needs to interview abroad (hence the need for an I-601A). The unauthorized work isn't an issue for a CR-1/IR-1 visa.
