I have a scheduled interview next month but due to unforeseen circumstances, I want to delay my interview for the foreseeable future. Not just a few months or a year but possibly 5+ years potentially.
 
	 
 
	Am I able to delay an interview this long with the Consulate? If so, what are the steps to keep my file "active"? 
 
	 
	Do I simply email the Consulate once a year to let them know I wish to keep my file active but not reschedule my interview?
