Well here is a big thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  
 
Your help, insight and sage advice has been invaluable.

There are the standard reasons for an expedite, then there are reasons that aren't listed. I was chit chatting with an operator at the NVC and he suggested I request an expedite. I said, "its not one of the reasons listed". He said, "so"... The worst that will happen, 'they' will deny it. It affects nothing, you don't lose your spot in line etc. The expedite request will be sent to the Embassy that will be interviewing the beneficiary. They decide yes or no. From what I have read and based on my own experience you should have a decision in 2-4 business days.
 
If your case is granted, 'expedite'. Your file is pulled and sent to the Embassy. Basically switching you to consular filing. Our case was expedited because of getting the kids in school for the beginning of the school year. We were already into week 5 of the 11 week wait for NVC to check the file. From the timelines similar to ours it saved 6 weeks. Difference being, my boys will be sitting in class vs sitting at the Embassy waiting to be interviewed.

When we got expedited the process changed from NVC providing the interview date to scheduling it ourselves, basically it switches to DCF. Did anyone notify us of how to do anything? No. I found out what to do by researching on VJ. NVC said the Embassy would contact us. If that was the case I'd still be sitting here waiting.
