Rescheduling Interview

[srs1978 0]

I got a phone call from my attorney today. He let me know he received my interview date in Montreal. The date happens to be tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. Obviously i am not going to make it. i am currently visiting my husband in GA.

Does anyone know about rescheduling an interview? Is this frowned upon? Will I have to start the process all over. How do I contact them?

Any info on this is very much appreciated. I'm a total mess right now! This process has taken 3+ years and now this!

Please help.

it would make no sense to me because I haven't gotten my medical yet.

I would definitely classify it as an emergency .. drive all night if you have to!

How on earth did you just find out about this at 6:22 pm on the day before the interview? What kind of lawyer do you have? Don't they[consulates] schedule interviews at least a week or two in advance?

I agree w/ the above posts...make every effort possible to be there at your interview. At this point, since its past hours of operation at the consulate, it may look quite foolish if you're calling on the morning of your interview to re-schedule because you're out of the country visiting your SO. I just cannot imagine that the consulate notified your attorney the day before the interview....which means that either your lawyer has known for a while and did not tell you, or you've forgotten the date, either way I don't think the consulate will take it kindly if you're requesting a re-schedule based on the fact that you're on 'vacation'. A serious emergency may qualify...but not "my lawyer just told me yesterday and I'm out of the country at present." I think you seriously need to be on the first flight out of GA, headed back to Montreal.

Good luck!

lets say one does find out they have an interview in the next day or two, BUT they do not have their medical(or whatever else, ie police check)! What to you do? You GOTO THE INTERVIEW!!! What they msot likley will do is approve the visa, BUT wont issue it until you get the medical (or whatever paperwork) completed!! This might be a different situation (so dont be alarmed) but our own dear Neiks has been waiting like 6 months for another interview appt (I belive she had to put off becuase of pregnancy) So in short if you can make the interview that was handed out on short notice GO, and once you get the medical (or whatever) completed, they most likely wil then issue you the visa! Hope it works out for u!!

well if she doesnt go it's too bad someone else couldnt get the slot.....someone in Montreal who's fiance is about to snap.....necrotica's rejean maybe

You can call US embassy in motreal to reschedule ur interview. Tell them your st#pid lawyer did not inform you earlier.

Get a flight booked NOW. Deal with the medical later. If you reschedule, you may not get another interview date for another 6+ months. There's someone who had to reschedule due to having a baby and they are still waiting for a new date... 5 months later.

Why did the lawyer get this information only to you today?

Montreal will put the case at the back of the line if they reschedule.

Oh gods I wish.

He wants to be able to give at least a day's notice to his work, though. Plus he's already asleep for tonight, with no phone to call to wake him up. Plus it wouldn't happen, anyway. But ohhhh, I wish.

srs1978, that is terrible that you didn't find out about this earlier, especially if the process has taken you 3+ years! It's worse than what my fiancé and I have been going through.

I agree with everyone here that posted. If there is any way even remotely possible for you to get on a flight to Montréal tonight, I would very highly recommend doing so.

Besides frantically looking for a flight to Montreal, I would also be planning on how to wring my lawyers neck, if this were happening to me.

I don't understand, but I highly doubt the lawyer just got the notice of the interview date. Unless the OP is also on a wait-list because of a previous re-schedule and suddenly an interview time-slot openned up and the consulate called last minute. Does that happen? (not sure what the procedure is w/ Montreal, but isn't it the case that if a consulate has a last minute cancellation of an interview they contact the next person on the waiting list?)

WOW. From what I've read on here, rescheduling can take a long time and you DON'T want to reschedule if you don't absolutely have to. You don't have to start the process all over from what I understand ... but you do risk waiting another 6+ months. Tough decision but if I had the money I'd be on a flight to Montreal. Unfortunately I don't think I'd have the money for a last minute flight :S :S so I hope this kinda thing doesn't happen to me.

How did you not find out about the interview date until the day before? If the lawyer knew all this time and didn't tell me til the last minute, I'd be pretty upset with him! I mean it's not like most of us LIVE in Vancouver or Montreal. We have to travel all the way to either place so it's necessary to know in advance! I'm sorry this has happened to you and your husband but I hope it can work out that you can get your interview and approved and maybe some kind of at least partial refund from your lawyer if he KNEW the date all this time!
