Has anyone been able to successfully reschedule their interviews? 

 

Mine was supposed to be last March 24th, but got caught up in the lockdown/quarantine in Manila, plus Trump's suspension.

 

My medical is expiring on Nov 3rd and the clinic suggested that I call/email to reschedule. When I called, they said there were no interview slots available, and was told to email when it's 30 days or less before my medical expires, because then I will meet the qualification for expediting. Though honestly, I doubt they will allow me to reschedule.

 

However, I'm hearing rumors that spouse visa interviews are being scheduled still on a case by case basis. Interested to see if anybody has been able to do it. And if you did, were you able to leave immediately?

 

Additional question: medical expires Nov 3rd, but our 2-yr anniversary is coming up on Nov 4th. I would prefer to be on IR-1 category when I get there but not sure how to sort this out.
