It is not advised to try and reschedule an AOS appointment unless it literally is a matter of life or death. Individuals have tried to do so and have believed they had a new appointment when they received a denial notice for failure to attend the original interview date. Regarding your pregnancy, if an interview is scheduled that conflicts with your ability to travel you can certainly try to reschedule by submitting a request in writing that includes the statement from your doctor that you are unable to travel and your expected due date is XXX. In such circumstances, even if you were denied because of missing an appointment, you would have little difficulty in getting the case re-opened. Quite honestly, it is not worth trying to reschedule an AOS interview - the risks are far greater than the benefits whatever they are. And - you may find out that you are approved without an interview which would make all of this a moot point. Good luck - and if you do get an interview date, do whatever you can to make that date unless it truly is a matter of life or death.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

The Immigration service is its own breed. It does not follow standard rules and conventions. In the world of Immigration - they are the law, the judge and jury.

Unless you have your baby on the day of your interview. DO NOT reschedule your interview. Yes you may get acknowledgment, but despite popular thinking - that does not guarantee anything. And there is a very high chance that even with the approval of a reschedule you will be still expected on your orginal date. Not showing will result in a No Show and a Denial of App, in which u have a small window to contest. Plus you may have to pay the fee to get your application re-opened.

Its not worth it, your too close. Just finish it and get it done.
