Should/ Could we do something to expedite the process? My request still says Received. You have any idea how much time it will take to complete the request and send the report to us?

Rakesh, when submitting request electronically to CBP you could tick a checkbox to request expedited process, provide a reason and attach supporting documents. It's in a Request Information section after you login to https://foia.cbp.gov/index.aspx?fromlogout=y and create or view your case.

Request Information

[x] Check to Request Expedite
Reason for Expedite Request: ____________

If you haven't done this originally, I'd recommend submitting another request now and mark it as expedited. As a reason provide that you need response urgently to complete Canadian citizenship process. If you weren't asked to provide with CBP records explicitly, you can still scan and submit as a supporting document the 1st page of RQ form with highlighted 2 sections: 1) where you need to provide response within 45 days; and 2) asking for travel records and/or records of movement from countries for which you have a passport or travel document. While "travel document" may be defined by passport/pr card type of documents only, it's actually not well defined (especially CBP has little idea of this process) and visas can be counted in for this purpose too, I think.

If you'll get notification that request was approved as expedited, you can withdraw an original request. I don't think you can modify original request, but, alternatively, you can send a message through a system and request to expedite request. I'm not sure how this works and whether it allows attachments.

I received my CBP response last month and it took 11 months to finalize. However, analyzing CBP logs I see a lot of recent requests from individuals completed within 1-2 months. I suspect these were expedited requests.
