I filed my AP application in last November and received a RFE (two photos) in Feburuary. I wanted to get an emergency AP based on lovewind's suggestions, but it did not work since there is no local office would take an emergency AP application in Texas. I was told (by customer service) that I could expedite my AP application by fax all the related material to a specified fax number (sorry I forgot the number now, but you could ask customer service for your area). I sent the fax towards the end of Feburuary, and on March 16 I received a DHL delivery from TSC and it turned out to be my AP document.
