Rescheduling the interview?

[Jinhouzi 0]

Is it possible to reschedule an interview? Looking at the timelines, if she gets it for Nov or Dec (if we're lucky) and she can not make it, can she reschedule for Jan or Feb?

US Embassy and Consulate General Discussion

You are almost there and now you have to deal with the embassy. This is the place to post your experiences or questions related to this last step before moving to the US. Topics relating to I-134's, packets sent from consulate and medical & police certificates should be posted here.

We had no problems, at all, rescheduling our interview at the Embassy in Zagreb, Croatia. We called them on the phone and all I got was a new invitation letter which, according to them, wasn't necessary in the first place.

Of course, Embassies/Consulates vary, so make sure to contact the one in China and ask if it is possible and what one needs to do to make it official.

I am just wondering how long it takes from sending out P3 till P4 to use as a guide. Thinking of holding onto the P3 before sending it.

Sean / Yan, you have 1 year time frame. on Packet # 3 its listed as Valid for 1 Year of receiving date. I'm applying via Seoul Embassy it may be different! But YES you can control your interview date! At least for Seoul Embassy interview is booked online and you can select which week is preferred. Although its not guaranteed but they do try to schedule you for that week.

I emailed the Frankfurt consulate today if I can sent in a letter together with the P3, asking if they can schedule my interview for a specific week of june (since I have a week off then), or if I can reschedule on a visa date. A few hours later the answer was following:

"you can give us a week in june where we should schedule you and if it is possible we will do so.

If you received the invitation letter and the appointment is not comfortable for you please contact us per email and we will reschedule the appointment."

So I guess rescheduling is not a problem, even though I have to say: this is Frankfurt, Germany - all consulates vary, so better ask directly at your consulate. You wanna get in touch with them when you are further into your journey, after you got NOA2, like when the NVC has sent you the form with your new case number.

Another thing is: the NOA2 will only be valid a certain time, and in this timeframe you have to get the interview done. When things get delayed there are embassies which extend the timeframe automatically, but keep an eye on the date, in case you have to extend it yourself (don't know, maybe that also varies at every consulate).
