According to narrations there is no way to speed up the appearance at all, yes, there are signs which are mentioned which will take place like the arise of Sufiyani and Yamani, the raising of a black flag, the killing of a pure soul etc. The imam of our time will only appear when Allah wills other than that the only thing we can do its to prepare ourselves and pray for his reappearance because its the only way to our salvation.
Narrated to us Husain bin Ahmad bin Idrees (r.a.) that: Narrated to us my father from Ayyub bin Nuh
from Muhammad bin Sinan from Safwan bin Mehran from as-Sadiq Ja’far bin Muhammad (a.s.) that he
said:
“One who agrees (believes) in the Imamate of all the Imams but denies the Mahdi is like one who
accepts the prophethood of all the prophets but denies the prophethood of Muhammad (S).” He was
asked: O son of Allah’s Messenger, who is the Mahdi from your progeny? “The fifth descendant of the
seventh Imam, whose person will remain hidden from your view and uttering his name is unlawful for
you.

The imam of our time is the only way for our salvation and infact we don’t even know his name as mentioned in the hadith, there is a whole chapter in al kafi about the mentioning of his real name, and it’s not permissible to say it Infront of people who do not understand it…..
also just to add on … The imam of our time wrote a letter to his 4th representative (which was the last representative imam appointed) in his letter also known as the Letter of Touqi, Mola says that no one will be able to see me until the gods promise comes true, and whoever claims to have seen me is a liar and a hypocrite (mola has used more severe words than i have mentioned Look it up)….
so you see there no way of contacting imam in a physical way, and no way of speeding up his appearance, all the events should happen for his reappearance that’s it … but the imam is in the world and helps us because he is the imam of our time, so its essential to gain his marifat, remember him in your sorrows and happiness, Jazakallah.
