Is there any point in ringing up every week to check progress or something along those lines?
There is no point to ringing them up, nothing along those lines will help. Just sit on the waiting list and relax.

I don't fly JFK-HKG but I've heard it has lots of paid-J traffic and upgrading is on the more difficult side. I fly HKG-LAX frequently, and that route is relatively easy to upgrade as a gold or even silver.
