2 weeks since expedite accepted by embassy, still no answer - should I contact them?

[P0907 127]

Hi all,

 

As the title mentions, I received approval of my expedition request on May 4th followed almost immediately by an email saying I would hear back soon from the Consulate (Naples, Italy in my case) to schedule an interview and have still not heard back.

 

I've seen various posts on this forum about embassies scheduling in the 2nd half of each month, some embassies needing to be contacted directly to schedule an interview, etc. Just wondering what you guys think about my case, should I contact them? We do have a rather urgent medical/financial reason for me to be in the US as soon as possible but I'm also trying to be patient (as much as possible under the circumstances) as I know everyone is overwhelmed during the pandemic. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Update

 

I contacted them and almost immediately got a notice to schedule my interview however the date they gave me is October 26th. Since my case is an expedited case (and I didn't see anywhere to declare it as such) should I be expecting them to respond with a date closer to the present seeing as there is a medical need for me to be in the US?
