Hi :)

my husband will (hopefully!) be getting his interview date for the mumbai consulate within the next couple of weeks...

i have a feeling that the date *mightt* be for march... i was hoping for february!

who can you call/email at the mumbai embassy to move to an earlier date?? do we need a good reason to convince them??

(i have read that a lot of people have done this)... please help out a fellow CR-1-er!

You will have to have a good reason to expedite your interview date. Since you are CR-1 applicant, NVC will allot an interview date. I checked your timeline and according to it you have received your DS-230 instruction package on 3rd of Dec. Have you sent it out yet?

There really aren't many people who had their interview expedited, what you might be referring to are people who got their K-3 interview date and changed it to CR-1 interview.

But either way, you will need a good reason, something like medical emergency of sort to expedite and it will be done by NVC.

You could always try. If they have a free spot, they might move you up.

Has your case been completed at NVC?

I know it's frustrating to wait. But trust me, it's worth. You might get an early March date or maybe they can fit you in February. You never know.

Good luck.
