can miracles happen and so that it takes less time?

Not in this situation. Also, I see that you're from Iraq. Nothing personal, but you may experience even longer wait because of administrative processing procedure they may put on your case, and this is totally impossible to estimate, it might take several weeks or months.

There's no change, it's a visa category, not phone number or something. And there's no reason to expedite as far as I can see. Only because they want so? It's not enough. Millions want.
