I just sent an email to NVCExpedite@state.gov
 
I included in the email my parents’ case numbers, full name and date of birth together with my information. In the body of the email, I humbly asked if they can expedite their cases as I need assistance with childcare. 
 
Update to their petitions: They arrived here in the US on April 18, 2022. I went back home to bring them here with me. Immigration officer at POE just asked me where do I want their greencards mailed.
 
Hoping for everyone to be reunited with your parents.

Just an update: I was able to secure an appointment for my parents this morning!!! My embassy opened up more than 50 slots on cgi website. They are going on March 7 for their interview!!!

1. No. Since you are approved for expedite, you will need to self schedule via cgi. Don’t wait like what I did. My parents were approved for expedite since Oct 25, thinking that embassy will send me Interview Date, until I found the fb group.
2. Yes, since you are also expedite.
3. Not sure, but I believe when they arrived in the US.
4. Seniors are exempted from the CFO training, you just need to pay which is now lowered beginning Feb 1st. Then they will email you a temporary certificate which is valid to use upon travel to US.
5. 50-50 chances.  I had my parents do it prior to getting ID. Because I was afraid they will have to undergo sputum culture which can take up to 2 months for the results, luckily they were both cleared. So now that I got ID, all good now.
6. They are forwarding your case to embassy. Once they status shows READY, then you can start securing an appointment by creating an account on cgi website.
 
Hope these help.

Congratulations!
Register just one of your parent to cgi and you can add the other as family member. They are posting available interview schedules on cgi. Right now no available. My parents are also approved expedite since Oct 25, but no IL still. I went ahead and scheduled them for medical. They just finished and cleared in one day (yesterday), they presented the DS-260. So just waiting for interview right now.

Okay, got it! I guess I'll just check it everyday.. Thanks for your help!!

I wanted to try the expedite to see what would happen. I did not have any medical reason for my expedite and I was surprised it still worked out. Sent the expedite request last Monday, January 3rd and I got the approval earlier today. 

So just FYI, I recently found out that we can schedule the medical as soon as we get the expedite approval even without IL. They do accept DS 260 at St Luke’s. The medical has 6 months expiration (from what I was told), at least this way, we are just waiting for the interview.

Yes just bring DS-260. They will be asked to sign a waiver though. That if the medical expires (6mos for normal and 3mos if sputum) and you still haven’t had interview, then you will need to redo the medical and pay again. 

Hello! I’ve been reading this thread for awhile now and decided to send an Expedited Request on my mother’s papers. 
 
12/19 - Sent expedited request
12/21 - Email received regarding request is under review
12/28 - Email received that the request has been accepted and will be sent to Manila.
12/29 - Ceac says Its in transit
 
Is there anything I can do at the moment while I’m waiting? I saw someone saying that I can schedule the medical and my mom can do it prior to receiving the actual interview info.
 

I went ahead and scheduled my parents for medical. They’re cleared. Had two date changed on ceac website (last case updated). Hopefully this is a good sign that they are working on my parents’ cases.

Booked it the day it showed ready in CEAC, Ultradocs response was confirmation of appointment after booking it
