What happens if your late?

[Tina&Kieron 1]

Just wondering what happens if your late to your interview what happens? For instance if your inline an hour early but don't get to the receptionist till after your assigned time what happens? Kieron's interivew is at 8:30am and he is going to take the first train up from hastings. I am just extremely worried. I mean if he is there in the line outside at 7:30am but doesn't make it in till 8:45 will it be ok? Just getting nervous these last few days are harder than the entire NOA2 wait. ~Tina

He Probably should be fine if its within time range and if the next session hasnt be called upon.He could be lucky to be mixed with the next session,it varies per embassy

Usually when you arrive you go to a window to take care of some preliminary paperwork, which clocks in your arrival time, and then wait your turn to be interviewed. Depending on the cases that come before him, he could be interviewed on his appointed time or just sit there until called. I would not worry about this.

That is a worry you can cross off your list. The whole giant 7:30 line will move quickly. And they don't care what time the appointment is. Nobody checks him against a clock. It's a first come first served free-for-all and appointment times mean nothing.

Edit: I've been to an interview at the embassy in London and know how it works there. Replies #2 and #3 probably haven't.

He will be fine, I asked the same question when I was in the line myself appointment 10am in line for 9.30 am and was told by the staff not to worry as its absolutely OK. Good Luck youve nothing to worry about. Your almost there.

I'm sure he'll be fine. GOOD LUCK.

As others have said nothing will happen, they don't care about the appointment time just that you're there on the right day, also if he/you are that worried you can get the coach throughout the night and be dropped off near by i believe someone mentioned before

Thank you everyone. We are just so close to the end I am worrying over everything. I have gone over the document list a thousand times. We are past ready for him to be home finally. ~Tina
