It was DQ’d 01/11/23. But I requested an expedite and it was approved 03/30/23.

Then, the consulate might require you to schedule your own interview.  I would contact them for instructions.

Contacting them has been useless. I get these automated responses saying I need to wait. When I call I speak with representatives literally reading from a script. The last message I received that seemed a bit more personalized said they received my case in the embassy and that I neee to wait for further instructions

There is nothing more to do, unfortunately.  If the embassy informs you to wait for instructions, then you'll need to wait.

Hi. Did you get your interview date ? 
I heard they sent a lot of interview letters last week! 

Hello! They did send alot! I did get my interview date but for expedited cases there’s a new process. You actually go on the ustraveldocs site and schedule your own VAC appointment and interview date.

On this website you have to try to create the consular appointment. When it asks you if you’ve done vac you select no, and when it asks what type of catergory you put IV EXPEDITE, at the end it will not let you continue but it will send them a notification. Which they respond to you in about 1-2 days. They send you a message approving you to continue and then you can resume and schedule your vac and consular appointment. Not sure if I explained it all correctly let me know if you understand more or less. You can also private message me and I can help further
