Good day,
Like i promised I came back to update whenever there is an update. I posted a question here on Sept 1 if its possible to expedite my AP, i followed @Family told me to email and contact a congressman, my husband and I talked to their representative, i contacted the embassy in the Philippines we waited and i upload proofs in my uscis account too, its a long 25 days for us when we started it and today few minutes ago our Request was Approved! We still have long way to go but pretty excited since we have a lot of planning to do before leaving the country. 
 
My english is really bad but i thank you VJ for guiding me, we still have long way to go. 

Try contacting the USEM call center to assist you in scheduling so your K2 children can interview together.  Once confirmed, you should get an interview appointment letter that lists all 3 case numbers (eg. MNL202xxx-02, MNL202xxx-03, MNL202xxx-04).
 

Just keep checking everyday. I once got lucky to have a sooner interview date. Thank God. 🙏

Also, don't book flights just because you have interview dates. Book only after the visas are approved, passports have been mailed back and you've checked the visas for any errors. 
 
Every once in a while we get posts on VJ from members who lost a lot of money with flights because the visas didn't arrive on time.

Many, many families are separated in this immigration process and they would like to spend Christmas together. 
Unfortunately you don't get to decide. 
Use the interview slots they gave you.
 
 

USEM (US Embassy Manila) enjoys both Philippine and US Holidays.  Month of November got plenty.  There are times they do not schedule next to those dates as workers file for long vacations too.

November 2022
Tue 1. November 1. All Saints Day. Fri 11. November 11. U.S. Veterans Day. Thu 24. November 24. Thanksgiving Day. Wed 30. November 30. Bonifacio Day.

It's not very constructive complaining why certain days are not available and not take action on days that actually opened up.  I would suggest you book the first available slot(s) before someone else snags them. 

Whatever slots they have available is your option.   They won’t open up unavailable time slots to accommodate your plans.

Good day,

Your English beautiful and you did an amazing job! 

I emailed the consulate and ask if they could provide anything we sent these proof also in the congressmans office in behalf for us, my children's name and case number and theyre expecting my children for their interview, paid visa fee, screenshot of their status. Im about to schedule their interview tonight for Nov yet it was approved. 

Yes! that's it. ☺️

Good day everyone!
 
I called the USCIS and requested to expedite my AP (K2 FTJ) we are expecting to bring my children later this year. We don't have plans yet and can't make one without AP.
The USCIS asked me what my reason and purpose are to expedite and obviously to travel back and forth for their medical exam, visa interview and bring them to the US and she responded like she didn't know it's possible to expedite my AP in such circumstances. Anyway, I was on hold for 55mins or over an hour just to talk to someone and I'm glad I did, that why I'm anxious and couldn't make a proper question. So, I have to wait 7 days for their (USCIS) response I hope it goes well. I'm curious how many here in VJ expedite their AP to travel back to their home country and bring their children in the US, my husband was frustrated and said, "they should have known that you need to bring your children later this year cos the consul asked you that during your visa interview". My parents couldn't handle the travelling for my children's processing due to their old age and the risk of covid too. 
 
Thanks.

Good day everyone!

Thanks.

No supporting documents are required for AP based on AOS. If you provided anything while filing for AP, it may not be sufficient for the expedite that you requested over the phone. Anyway, just wait for the uscis to respond at this time.

who should have known?
embassy is only in charge of interviews and visa approval
they have no way to know when you marry and when u apply for the remainder of the entire process
they are not privy to information past what is  provided to them
and they are not in charge of the AOS step nor have influence over what happens after they issue the visa
