We were given an interview date this morning on the day after Memorial Day (5/28). I literally have the entire week off starting with May 29th, but could not attend the interview in Rio with my partner (who lives in Rio) until 5/29...or after.

We have requested an interview change date of May 30 or 31st.

My question is this: how common is it for people to request interview changes? Is it considered a grave offense to ask for a new date?

My partner could of course attend, but the whole goal was for me to fly there to be with her for the interview....

I can't believe they gave us just three weeks notice. Consulate only accepts email, so we've written them back and are now waiting...

Just hoping that they don't sock us with a date a month later or something...happy that it's happening so soon, but gosh, the timing!

Appointments are scheduled in blocks, so it would be nothing short of a miracle if he were able to reschedule the interview for the next couple of days. Chances are his file will be placed in the next group, a month or so away.

On a positive note, the petitioner is not required to be present for the interview, so he can go it alone.

It is not uncommon to only be given a couple of days of notice before the interview. I was given 12 days notice. I understand that you want to support your fiancée, but I think she should go and attend it by herself if you cannot make it. Most of us have gone through the interview by ourselves.

We received our interview date today as well. June 4! I am happy about how soon it will be but also concerned because we ran into a few snags with the passport (yes I am beyond mad that he waited till only last month to get it but hey we had NO IDEA we'd be approved so quickly, be to be prepared!) Now I am just praying with all my might that his passport will be ready in time, I don't want to reschedule! Good luck with yours though, i'm sure she will be fine on her own!

Rio consulate only takes emails and they took several days to get back to us last time, so we've emailed them today and now have to wait, to see if they will switch the appointment or not....

in the meantime, I'm jamming on the docs to get them all ready for the interview....

It's really important that we both attend the interview for physical and moral support. We are hoping that the Rio consulate gets back to us soon and is willing to give us a new interview, even if it's a few weeks later.

What are the chances they do this? Has anyone ever been able to reschedule with a consulate in terms of an interview date?

You can reschedule your interview without any problems. There are no drawbacks, but you can't choose the new date either.
