Hey Folks,

 

I just wanted to see if anyone knows if this is true or not. When we initially scheduled our K1 interview appointment, we took the first available appointment which was June 8th at the time. Since then we have noticed that on occasion there will be earlier appointments made available on the scheduling website (likely due to canceled or rescheduled interviews). We have decided to take advantage of these earlier appointments & have moved up our appointment to June 1st. We were hoping to continue to monitor the site for any earlier appointments prior to our scheduled appointment, however when I logged in to the site today I noticed the following note:

 

"If you cancel this appointment, then you will have exceeded the limit of appointments canceled, and will not be able to schedule another appointment until another MRV fee has been paid."

 

Does this mean that if we attempt to reschedule our appointment to any earlier appointments (should one open up) that we would have to pay an additional $265 MRV fee? I sent a message directly to the embassy for clarification as well. I think the spirit of the rule...if this is one...was to prevent people from continuously postponing their interview appointment due to scheduling their interview before they were ready. It wouldn't make sense to penalize those of us who are waiting in line & want to take advantage of an earlier appointment when it becomes available.

 

Thoughts?

Sounds like that is exactly what it means.

Unfortunately that's my guess as well...it would have been nice if they would have let us know up front that we had a specific amount of reschedules. If I hadn't noticed that text while I was checking on our case & had decided to grab an earlier appointment, I'm guessing it would have either not allowed me to make the change or required me to pay an additional $265 before being able to attend the interview appointment.

I think most of the times I have seen this discussed has been in connection with tourist visa.
