US Immigration from Malta

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.
