Applied for my brother in 2012.

Requested expedite through senator two weeks ago with no luck.

March 16, 2022 called USCIS with a request to expedite. They said I will get an answer within 7 days.

March 16, 2022 expedited request was approved. I went to check case status on March 17th and was shocked that it was approved on the same day I called. Waiting and hoping his I-130 will be approved.

I told her the basis was hunaitarian relief based on Russia's attack on Ukraine today. I further explained that my wife and step-daughter left our apartment this morning because it was shaken by a nearby explosion. They are now at her brother's house. The representative said this was a "legitimate reason" for this request. I thought I would pass this along to everyone else. I should have a decision on the request within seven business days.

did this expedite request work ? Did you provide any supporting evidence or was it just a phone call ?
