Hey bro sorry to hear , i am in the same boat as well as assured this process takes 3 month on track for a year now due to covid ..
anyways to answer your question ,
1: Can i request expedite without an attorney ?
Yes you can actually all they do is send them an email with why you need an expedited request and it's up to the management to consider on case by case basis
2: I read in this form that we have to submit documentation. What type of documents required.
Yes you send all the supporting evidence that support your claim , for example if you are claiming a medical hardship you would include your medical reports as supporting evidence ,
also you include your declaration for reference , along with the request it self
